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

backgroundUrology encompasses a diverse array of pathologies with complex clinical presentations, demanding rigorous hands-on clinical practice and high-quality pedagogical training for medical interns. To overcome the limitations of traditional teaching models, which typically combines theoretical instruction with ward observation often provide limited exposure, we developed and validated a novel clinical teaching model that is based on real-world clinical cases in individualized three-dimensional imaging and evaluated its feasibility and effectiveness in urological internship teaching through prospective experiments.

objectiveTo evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a novel clinical teaching model that integrates real-world clinical cases with individualized three-dimensional imaging in urology interns.

methodsDuring the 2024-2025 academic year, 128 interns in the Department of Urology were randomly assigned to two groups based on student ID numbers: the traditional teaching mode (TTM) arm and the new teaching mode (NTM) arm, with 64 interns in each group. The TTM group received the conventional approach of thematic theoretical teaching alongside clinical case observation, while the NTM arm implemented the novel approach. After a 2-week internship, the educational effects of trainees were assessed by confidential questionnaire, theoretical knowledge examination, and clinical practice assessments, followed by statistical analysis of the results.

resultsInterns in the NTM group outperformed those in the TTM group (p < 0.05). Although some specific item assessments revealed no significant differences between the two groups, the overall scores of interns in the NTM group on confidential questionnaires, theoretical knowledge examinations, and clinical practice assessments were significantly higher than those in the TTM group (p < 0.05). The weighted composite score (confidential questionnaire constituted 0.2, theoretical knowledge examination constituted 0.4, clinical practice examination constituted 0.4) of the NTM group was significantly higher (79.75 ± 3.91 vs. 85.30 ± 6.03, p < 0.001).

conclusionThis study indicates that the NTM is well accepted by interns and those receiving clinical teaching through the NTM show superior theoretical knowledge and clinical skills over the TTM.
