Teaching and shaping young minds: Perspectives of south Indian medical students on psychiatry education- An online survey.
Article in Indian journal of psychiatry, 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
Background: Psychiatry remains underrepresented in undergraduate medical education in India. Despite curricular reforms increasing theoretical and clinical exposure, traditional lecture-based methods predominate, potentially limiting engagement, and skill acquisition. Aim: To explore undergraduate medical students' perspectives on psychiatry teaching across South India. Methods: Cross-sectional online survey was conducted among undergraduate students using a semi-structured questionnaire and the Results: Sixty-three students (mean age 22.7 ± 1.16), predominantly from semesters 7 to 9 (batch 2020), participated. Faculty presentation skills, communication, and use of teaching aids were rated positively. However, innovative teaching methods were perceived as limited. Audio-visual aids, role plays, and small-group discussions were commonly suggested improvements. Significant associations were found with attendance, semester level, and year of joining. Conclusion: While conventional teaching is effective, integrating innovative, learner-centered approaches and strengthening faculty development is essential to enhance psychiatric education.
