The effect of a modified Peyton's four-step teaching method on orthokeratology skills: an experimental study.

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
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a modified Peyton's four-step method in teaching orthokeratology skills. Methods: A total of 60 fourth- and fifth-year optometry students undertaking internships at the Optometry Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University in December 2025 were enrolled. The students were randomly assigned to an experimental group or a control group, with 30 students in each group. The experimental group received training in basic orthokeratology skills using the modified Peyton's four-step teaching method, whereas the control group was trained using the traditional "See One, Do One" approach. The total training duration was four credit hours. One week after completion of the training, skill-based operational assessments and teaching satisfaction questionnaires were administered to both groups. Statistical analyses were conducted using the Results: For lens cleaning, lens wearing, trial wear evaluation, and total scores, the experimental group achieved significantly higher scores than the control group ( Conclusion: The modified Peyton's four-step teaching method demonstrated favorable outcomes in training basic orthokeratology skills and achieved high trainee satisfaction, indicating that it is worthy of wider adoption.
