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

objectiveTo design a teaching model of innovative theoretical and practical workshop for manual therapy (MT, also known as Tuina) course within Chinese higher medical education based on outcome-based education (OBE) concept, and to explore its implementation effect and application evaluation.

methodsSixty undergraduate students were randomly divided into three groups: lecture-based learning (LBL), blended teaching (LBL with online self-study), and OBE. The OBE group received student-centered modules combining theory and cognitive training. Effectiveness was assessed using the students’ evaluation of educational quality questionnaire (SEEQ) for dimensions like enthusiasm and interaction, as well as final course score.

resultsThe OBE group achieved significantly higher final score (87.15 ± 3.30, 95% CI: 85.61–88.70) than blended (84.70 ± 3.18, 95% CI: 83.21–86.19) and LBL groups (81.80 ± 4.60, 95% CI: 79.65–83.95). OBE also showed superior SEEQ ratings in group interaction, satisfaction, and breadth than the other teaching models, with lower learning burden compared to blended teaching.

conclusionsThe OBE-based MT course showed capacity in improving teaching satisfaction and effectiveness by integrating theory with practice, fostering cognitive engagement, and advancing innovative thoughts. OBE-trained students demonstrated relatively enhanced learning and thinking abilities, supporting their career development. The study highlighted the potential significance of OBE in cultivating the professional competence of traditional Chinese medicine students, thus may bridge traditional therapeutic wisdom with modern healthcare needs. However, large-scale and multi-center studies need to be conducted to further support the existing findings.
