Implementation of an Integrated Pharmacology Curriculum in a Flipped, Small-Group, Case-Based, Pre-Clerkship Medical Curriculum Improved Student Performance.

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
Rush Medical College implemented a new, integrated pre-clerkship curriculum. Pharmacology was integrated with other basic sciences into a flipped, small-group, case-based structure. This report describes the main features of the pharmacology curriculum for pharmacology directors to have a template. When pharmacology assessment items were compared from before and after the curriculum change, both the degree of difficulty and the point biserial correlation increased for the items created during the new curriculum. Furthermore, student satisfaction, as reported by the Graduate Questionnaire (GQ), steadily increased. Therefore, student performance and perception of pharmacology content were positively affected by the integrated curriculum. This paper describes a framework for directors of pharmacology to use for integration of novel curricular strategies and provides examples of how to achieve successful integration.
