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: A brain computerized tomography (CT) scan is an important diagnostic tool to guide physicians and it should be basically known by every medical student, resident, and physician. This study aimed to investigate the effect of virtual training course of brain diseases and pathologies CT scan interpretation on the rate of accurate diagnosis by medical students. Materials and Methods: This single-blinded randomized controlled trial study was performed on 60 medical students who were divided into control and intervention groups. The training course for CT scan imaging was performed virtually for the case group and traditionally for the control group by participating in face-to-face meetings. The test for the diagnosis of the brain injury images was conducted before and after the intervention and the score of each subject was calculated. Independent sample Results: The mean score of students in the brain injury diagnosis test before and after the implementation of the CT scan medical imaging training course in both virtual and face-to-face methods did not show a significant difference ( Conclusion: Our results showed the same effectiveness of both face-to-face and virtual methods in interpretation skills of brain CTs.
