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: The flipped classroom model combined with case-based learning has emerged as a promising educational approach in medical residency training. However, the specific impact of integrating paper-based pulmonary function test case discussions on residents' ability to accurately assess COPD severity remains underexplored. Objective: To investigate the effect of incorporating paper-based pulmonary function test case group discussions within a flipped classroom framework on residents' competency in COPD grading assessment, comprehensive examination performance, and self-efficacy. Methods: This single-center, retrospective cohort study analyzed 100 residents who completed respiratory medicine rotations between 2022 and 2024. Participants were divided into an intervention group ( Results: The intervention group demonstrated significantly higher COPD grading accuracy rates both immediately post-instruction (86.4% vs. 68.2%, Conclusion: Integrating paper-based pulmonary function test case discussions into flipped classroom teaching significantly enhances residents' COPD grading assessment competency, examination performance, and professional self-efficacy. This innovative pedagogical approach merits wider implementation in respiratory medicine residency training programs.
