Assessing the Effect of Different Teaching Methods on Left Atrial-to-Aortic Ratio Image Acquisition and Image Interpretation.
Article in Journal of veterinary emergency and critical care (San Antonio, Tex. : 2001). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
objectiveTo determine the effect of three different teaching methods on left atrial-to-aortic ratio (LA:Ao) image acquisition and interpretation, student confidence, and knowledge retention.
designProspective, educational study.
settingUniversity veterinary teaching hospital. STUDY SUBJECTS: Thirty-six fourth-year preclinical veterinary students and three dogs without left atrial enlargement.
interventionsStudents were randomized into three groups (A, B, and C). All students watched a teaching video on acquiring and interpreting the LA:Ao view. Groups B and C received in-person teaching. Group C received instructor-led, hands-on training. Students completed a confidence survey before the teaching intervention (T0), after the teaching intervention (T1), and 7-8 months later (T2). LA:Ao image acquisition (live dog) and interpretation (from stills) were assessed at T1 and T2. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsStudent confidence and teaching method preferences were assessed using a 5-point Likert-type scale at T0, T1, and T2. LA:Ao image acquisition and interpretation were assessed at T1 and T2. Student confidence in image interpretation improved in all groups; only Group C had improved confidence in operating the ultrasound machine. At T1, interpretable LA:Ao views were acquired by two of 10, four of 12, and seven of 12 students from Groups A, B, and C, respectively, and at T2 by two of five, three of six, and four of seven students from Groups A, B, and C, respectively. The median image interpretation test score at T1 was 5/5 (interquartile range [IQR]: 5), 4/5 (IQR: 4-5), and 4/5 (IQR: 3-5) for Groups A, B, and C, respectively. At T2, the median image interpretation scores were 3/5 (IQR: 2-4), 3.5/5 (IQR: 3-4), and 4/5 (IQR: 3-5) for Groups A, B, and C, respectively.
conclusionsLA:Ao image acquisition was achieved in more students following instructor-led, hands-on teaching; however, this difference was not significant, possibly due to small group sizes. Video training alone appeared to be adequate for LA:Ao image interpretation.
