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: In the field of medicine, the ability to learn and adapt to clinical demands is essential in the training of residents. The Herrmann Brain Quadrant Model (BQM) categorizes thinking styles based on the preference for utilizing brain quadrants, serving as an applied tool for residents to assess their learning preferences. Objective: To identify the learning styles according to Herrmann's BQM among Anesthesiology residents. Materials and methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study which included 27 Anesthesiology residents to which the Herrmann Cerebral Dominance Test (CDT) was administered. Each brain quadrant embodies distinct characteristics, thinking patterns, and approaches to knowledge acquisition. The CDT comprises 120 multiple-choice items on academic, daily, and professional scenarios. The quadrants are described as: LC "scientific expert," LL "organizer-introvert," RC "interpersonal strategist," RL "imaginative communicator." Results: The average age was of 28.4 ± 1.4 years (12 women and 15 men). According to CDT, the predominant cerebral hemisphere was quadrant LC in 8 residents (29.6%), 6 with LC/RC (22.2%), 6 with LC/LL (22.2%), 3 with CD (11.1%), 2 with LL (7.4%), and 1 with LL/RC (3.7%). One case exhibited no dominance (3.7%). Conclusion: The BQM among residents revealed that the left cortical quadrant, designated as the "scientific expert," exhibited the highest dominance. A logical, analytical, and rational personality characterizes this quadrant.
