Tracking the evolution of medical students' clinical documentation skills: a pilot study leveraging a simulated electronic record and a longitudinal panel data analysis.

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
Background: Clinical documentation skills (CDS) are crucial for effective medical practice. Accurate and structured documentation ensures continuity of care, supports clinical decision-making, and serves as a legal record of healthcare delivery. This study aimed to evaluate the progression of CDS of the medical students across core clinical rotations using a simulation-based modified Standardized Long Case Examination of Clinical Competence (m-SLCECC). Methods: We performed a longitudinal analysis of the progression of 3 Results: The medical students' CDS scores improved across all domains over the study period. HPI scores increased by 0.17 points per month ( Conclusion: Simulation-based longitudinal assessment effectively captured progressive improvements in students' CDS. Variations in performance highlight the influence of rotation-specific factors and underscore the need for targeted feedback strategies to optimize CDS development. Panel data analysis in this study proved a robust methodological tool for tracking skill evolution over time.
