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

Introduction: Simulation-Based Teaching (SBT) has emerged as an educational strategy to enhance clinical competence among medical students, particularly in Gynaecology and Obstetrics. Objective: This study assessed the effectiveness of learning SBT and explored the enablers and challenges associated with implementing SBT in Gynaecology and Obstetrics. Methods: Using a sequential explanatory mixed methods approach a study was conducted in Skills Lab at Pakistan Emirates Military Hospital (PEMH), Rawalpindi during May-Sep 2024. A pre/post design study was conducted on final-year medical students using a validated questionnaire Simulation Learning Effectiveness Inventory (SLEI-SCM). The qualitative component explored students' and faculty perception of SBT through In-depth interviews. The quantitative data was analyzed using SPSS (V.25) while the qualitative data was conducted through Braun and Clarke Thematic framework. Results: A total of 190 participants participated in the quantitative study. The pre-training mean score of the participants 89.4 significantly improved to 139.5 post-training (Mean Difference = 50.1). Post-intervention results revealed significant improvements ( Conclusion: SBT significantly enhanced undergraduate learning outcomes in Gynecology and Obstetrics, in workshop content, resource availability, and clinical confidence.
