1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: As the demand for humanistic and patient-centered care grows in clinical practice, integrating narrative medicine into residency training has become increasingly important. This study aimed to investigate the narrative competencies of obstetric residents undergoing standardized training and to evaluate the effectiveness of narrative medicine education empowered by case-based teaching in enhancing clinical practice and professional competency. Patients and Methods: A total of 46 obstetric residents enrolled in standardized training programs between October 2021 and May 2024 were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (n = 23) or the control group (n = 23). Residents in the experimental group received case-based narrative medicine education, while those in the control group received conventional clinical teaching. Following the obstetrics rotation, knowledge tests and objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) were administered. Subjective evaluations of narrative competencies and teaching effectiveness were assessed using validated questionnaires. Results: After the obstetrics rotation, OSCE scores were significantly higher in the experimental group compared to the control group ( Conclusion: Narrative medicine education empowered by case-based teaching effectively enhances narrative competencies, obstetric clinical skills, doctor-patient communication abilities, critical thinking, and learning engagement among obstetric residents undergoing standardized training. This innovative teaching approach addresses the gap in humanistic medical education and provides an effective strategy for cultivating comprehensive professional competency in obstetric residents.
