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

Purpose: The aim of this case report is to describe the design, implementation, and outcomes of a near peer instructor (NPI) placement for a physiotherapy student. Client Description: Participants included a year-2 placement student (the NPI), year-1 students from the McMaster Master of Science (Physiotherapy) programme, the anatomy instructor (AI), and the director of clinical education (DCE). Intervention: The AI and DCE designed a two day/week placement whereby the NPI developed and facilitated clinical application stations during scheduled anatomy and physiology (A&P) sessions with year-1 physiotherapy students. Measures and Outcomes: Students, the AI and NPI provided feedback through surveys for the purpose of placement evaluation. Implications: Three areas of impact of this placement model were identified: (1) greater perceived ability of learners to integrate A&P knowledge with clinical skills, (2) NPI growth in transferrable skills and the seven essential competencies required of physiotherapists in Canada, and (3) additional clinically relevant A&P curricular resources.
