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

With the modern paradigm shift toward an integrated, organ-systems-based structure, United States medical students now receive limited formal training in histology. This places additional strain on pathology departments and assigned-resident educators during medical student clinical clerkships, as they must focus more time on basic principles of histology instead of the cases at hand. Schools have explored the use of asynchronous modular learning resources to build and support histology education outside of the traditional didactic settings, but the successful integration of modular content with traditional pathology rotations has not yet been fully explored. This survey-based study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a newly implemented anatomic pathology curriculum that integrates asynchronous modular histology content, created in-house by department residents and faculty, with service-based pathology rotations. Postrotation surveys of medical student learners (n = 31/35, 89%), using a 10-point Likert scale, gathered across the 2024-2025 academic year, revealed high ratings for rotation organization, usefulness, histology education, module experience, and rotation personalization. Free-response feedback themes from learners reinforced the value of the integrated educational experience and helpfulness of the modular content. Postrotation surveys of residents assigned to these students (n = 7/14, 50%) revealed a better balance between management of daily workloads and the educational experience of their learners. Faculty surveys (n = 10) revealed a high perceived usefulness of the new curricular model. In all, implementation of this novel curriculum has been effective and popular with rotating students, residents, and faculty at our institution and could likewise serve as an effective model for others.
