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

We evaluate the effectiveness of self-directed learning augmented reality (AR) handouts as learning materials for teaching microbiology to third-year medical students in the Doctor of Medicine (English Program) at Thammasat University. A stratified randomized controlled trial was conducted comparing academic performance (multiple-choice question scores), the motivation levels (motivated strategies for learning questionnaire, MSLQ), and satisfaction survey scores among students studying with AR handouts (intervention group) versus traditional handouts (control group). Twenty-four students participated in this study (
