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

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an enhanced eye-tracking video intervention (EYE-ECG2) in improving ECG interpretation skills of medical students. Building on the foundational EYE-ECG1 study [Scherff et al. GMS J Med Educ. 2024], which tested the utility of expert eye movement modelling and retrospective think-aloud commentary for ECG skill acquisition, this follow-up study introduces modifications designed to optimise learning outcomes. Methods: A randomised controlled trial was conducted with medical students ( Results: The results of the previous study were successfully replicated, showing an overall significant learning benefit from the cases and a moderate, yet nonsignificant tendency for INT>TAU (ΔM=0.80-2.42%; Conclusion: The ECG training significantly improved participants' ECG interpretation skills, with a strong start in the training session playing a key role in these improvements. Student feedback indicated that certain subgroups, particularly those with prior cardiological experience, may derive a greater self-reported benefit from the EYE-ECG2 videos.
