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
backgroundThe tendency towards critical thinking, along with its associated factors, has garnered significant interest among researchers as a pivotal professional competence for educators. Additionally, teaching styles play a crucial role in fostering critical thinking skills and enhancing one's propensity for such thinking, thus contributing to its overall development. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the tendency towards critical thinking and the teaching styles employed by faculty members at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis is a correlational study on 88 faculty members from Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, who were selected through systematic sampling. Data were collected using Ricketts Critical Thinking Tendency Questionnaire and Grasha-Richman Teaching Style Inventory. The analysis of the data was conducted using multiple regression tests and Pearson's correlation coefficient in SPSS software version 20 for statistical analysis.
resultThe majority of the participants were 45-55 years old (63.7%) and had a doctoral degree (84.1%). Also, half of the faculty members were male and had more than 15 years of teaching experience (50%). The mean scores obtained for critical thinking disposition and teaching styles were 137.61 ± 9.48 and 153.47 ± 26.90, respectively. A statistically significant positive correlation was identified between critical thinking disposition and teaching styles (
conclusionThe results of this research indicate a notable correlation between the inclination towards critical thinking and the teaching styles employed by faculty members. Furthermore, the propensity for critical thinking serves as a significant predictor of these teaching styles. Implementing educational initiatives focusing on critical thinking and instructional methodologies can create conducive learning environments that foster the development of critical thinking skills among both faculty and students.
