Poverty Simulations: Are the Learning Outcomes Consistently and Uniformly Positive?
Article in Journal of dental education, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
objectivesResearch indicates significant improvement in average attitudes toward those in poverty following poverty simulations, but little research addresses whether students benefit uniformly. This study measured variability in poverty attitude change following poverty simulations and tested whether poverty attitudes are associated with simulation evaluations.
methodsThird-year dental students were surveyed at baseline (T
resultsStudents' (N = 169) average poverty attitudes were 9.4 points higher at T
conclusionsPoverty simulations enhance poverty attitudes on average, but potentially worsen attitudes among a substantial percentage of students. Those with negative post-simulation attitudes toward poverty also are likely to value the simulation less and may require different teaching strategies.
