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

backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of integrating professional education with Mini-CEX in improving clinical competency in Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN) clerkships. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 116 clinical medicine students were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group (58 students) received professionalism education along with conventional teaching, incorporating Mini-CEX assessments every two weeks, while the control group (58 students) received conventional teaching only. The Mini-CEX tool included seven components: medical interview, physical examination, professionalism, clinical judgment, explanation and education, organizational efficiency, and overall competence. Students were assessed using a 9-point scale ranging from 1 (needs improvement) to 9 (excellent).

resultsThe experimental group showed a significant improvement in clinical competency scores, especially in the domains of professionalism and clinical judgment.

conclusionThe integration of professionalism education with Mini-CEX significantly enhances clinical competencies, particularly in the domains of professionalism and clinical judgment, supporting its incorporation into OBGYN clerkships.
