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

Background: Neurology clerkships are critical for clerks' transition from student to assistant physician, but complex neurological content and traditional lecture-based teaching often reduce learning enthusiasm and skill mastery. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate whether integrating Evidence Based Medicine into the BOPPPS teaching model (EBM-BOPPPS) can enhance the clinical competence and EBM confidence of three-year junior college medical clerks during neurology clerkships, in comparison to the standalone BOPPPS model. Methods: A mixed-method research approach was adopted, with its core quantitative component being a stratified randomized controlled trial with quasi-experimental design. A total of 97 three-year junior college medical clerks were recruited and randomly assigned to the EBM-BOPPPS group ( Results: At baseline, the two groups showed no significant differences in gender, age, epidemiology scores, core medical course averages or pre-rotation MCQs scores. Post intervention, MCQs scores remained comparable between groups. However, the EBM-BOPPPS group achieved significantly higher total OSCE scores (91.65 ± 2.54 vs. 88.86 ± 4.19, Conclusion: The EBM-integrated BOPPPS model effectively enhances the clinical competence and EBM confidence of three-year junior college medical clerks, better aligning with the training needs of grassroots primary care compared to the standalone BOPPPS model. Future studies should focus on long-term skill retention and optimizing the model to reduce perceived learning burden.
