Problem-Based Learning: A Case of Acral Melanoma.
Article in MedEdPORTAL : the journal of teaching and learning resources, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Dermatology-focused problem-based learning cases are underrepresented in medical education despite the importance of skin cancer recognition across specialties. This project aimed to design, implement, and evaluate a melanoma-focused problem-based learning case for first-year medical students. Methods: We developed a problem-based learning case on acral melanoma with input from dermatologists, medical students, and problem-based learning course directors. The case was piloted, revised, and incorporated into the curriculum at the Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine. Evaluation included a postcase anonymous survey to assess changes in confidence via a retrospective pre/post survey. Results: Sixty-two students completed the survey. Confidence in recognizing melanoma rose from 16.4% to 86.9% ( Discussion: This melanoma problem-based learning case improved self-reported learner confidence and knowledge while addressing health care disparities in dermatology. It is adaptable across institutions and highlights the importance of including dermatology cases early in training.
