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

aimBy investigating the current state of online learning environments in medical education and students' academic emotions, this study aims to further understand the association between online learning environments and academic emotions, thereby providing insights for optimizing the online learning environment in medical education.

designA cross-sectional study. SETTINGS AND

participantsThe study employed a convenience sampling method to select participants from a sample of 317 medical school students at a university in China.

methodsThe study was conducted from September to November 2023. Data was collected using General Information Questionnaire, Online Learning Environment Assessment Scale, and College Students' General Academic Emotions Questionnaire. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to examine the association between the online learning environment and academic emotions. And the ENTER method was chosen for multiple linear regression analysis.

resultsThe results showed that content design had a significant positive association on positive activating emotions. Learning assessment had significant negative association on negative activating emotions and negative deactivating emotions. Website design had a significant positive association on negative deactivating emotions.

conclusionsIn order to increase positive academic emotions and decrease negative emotions among medical students in online learning, improvements can be made in the areas of content design, learning assessment, and website design, which in turn will improve the effectiveness of online learning.
