Exploring Near-Peer Teaching for Examination Preparation Among Undergraduate Medical Students: Perceptions of Peer Tutors and Tutees.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundNear-peer teaching (NPT), where students take on the role of educators for peers, is widely used in medical education to enhance the learning experience. We sought to explore the perspectives of near-peer tutors and the advantages of NPT among tutors and tutees in the context of exam preparation. IMPLEMENTATION: We conducted NPT sessions for examination-oriented revision.
resultsThe feedback included rating the session and open-ended questions for scope and for free-text comments. Likert scale analysis revealed that almost 50% of tutees strongly agreed that tutors have a strong knowledge base, clarity of concepts, and an approachable attitude, and provided valuable resource materials. Free text comments were categorized into common themes: empathy and relatability, studying tips, drafting answers, tailored guidance, exam-specific approach, and precise revision.
conclusionBased on the feedback of tutees and tutors, initiating NPT in medical colleges for exam preparation will go a long way in benefiting the students.
