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

Introduction: Hiroshima University, in collaboration with BeRISE Corp, developed a virtual reality-based objective structured clinical examination (VR OSCE Methods: Twenty medical students participated in this prospective, pre- and post-intervention study. They conducted medical interviews and physical examinations of simulated patients using VR OSCE Results: Post-training scores significantly improved across all parameters compared with pre-training scores ( Conclusion: This study is the first to evaluate the educational impact of VR OSCE™ training in medical students. VR-based training appears to be effective, likely due to its immersive nature. These findings suggest that VR-based digital simulation has substantial potential to enhance medical education.
