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

Using new technologies can improve the quality of medical education. These technologies are beneficial for adding auditory, touch, and olfactory senses to education. We aim to review the current trends and available technological tools that can aid medical education in growing and expanding quality than before. This umbrella review was done to provide information regarding applying new technologies in medical education. The search was done in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science in October 2024. From the set of cases mentioned in this review, it was found that peer-assisted learning contributes to enhancements in the acquisition of clinical knowledge. Active learning facilitated by peer-assisted learning should be considered a valuable complement to teacher-led approaches. In the survey of this review, solutions such as augmented reality, artificial intelligence, creating self-regulation and upgrading the digital level, and wearable biosensors through new technologies were mentioned. Increasing digitalization in the healthcare environment requires experienced healthcare professionals who lack technological literacy. Based on this evidence, educators and policymakers must prioritize integrating recent technologies into medical education. This study highlights the need for further research to explore the effectiveness of new technologies in different aspects of medical education.
