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

Background: The cultivation of innovation skills is being recognized as a crucial component in medical education. While the effectiveness of the teaching assistant model in the classroom is well-documented, there has been limited exploration of their role in the medical innovation course, particularly those involving undergraduate teaching assistants (UTAs). This study aimed to investigate the role of UTAs in the medical innovation course and to assess their impact on students, the UTAs themselves, and the course as a whole. Methods: In this study, based on the stimuli-organism-response model and social cognitive career theory, a questionnaire was designed and distributed to students participating in the course to explore their innovation skills, self-efficacy, and satisfaction in the context of UTAs' involvement. Additionally, semistructured interviews and an in-depth interview were conducted to assess the impact of the UTA model on the UTAs themselves and the course, with the interview content being recorded and analyzed. Results: Firstly, the survey results indicated that UTAs had a positive impact on students' self-efficacy (β=0.102, Conclusions: UTAs enhanced students' self-efficacy, thereby promoting the development of innovation and entrepreneurship skills, as well as course satisfaction. Moreover, this teaching model had unexpectedly positive effects on the UTAs' own skill development and course advancement. Therefore, the involvement of UTAs in the medical innovation course provided a reference for cultivating innovation capabilities in medical education.
