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

objectivesPatient narratives may enhance medical students' attention and memory. We tested whether a brief patient-perspective video shown at the beginning of a kidney transplantation seminar was associated with improved immediate knowledge retention and emotional engagement.

methodsIn a cluster-randomized design, 154 third-year medical students were assigned by session to a Video Group (n = 77) or Control Group (n = 77). The Video Group watched a 4-minute patient-perspective video on kidney transplantation before the standardized 60-minute lecture, whereas the Control Group received the lecture only. The primary outcome was post-seminar knowledge retention, assessed using a 10-item multiple-choice quiz. Secondary outcomes were self-reported emotional engagement, interest in the topic, seminar satisfaction, and perceived contribution of media use to understanding, each rated on a 5-point Likert scale.

resultsThe Video Group scored higher on the post-seminar quiz than the Control Group (mean ± standard deviation: 6.14 ± 1.79 vs. 4.95 ± 1.78; p < 0.001), with a medium effect size (Cohen's d = 0.67). The Video Group also reported stronger emotional engagement with the seminar topic (p = 0.012). No significant differences were found between groups for the other evaluation items.

conclusionA brief patient-perspective video shown before a kidney transplantation seminar was associated with higher immediate knowledge retention and greater self-reported emotional engagement. Short patient-perspective videos may be a low-cost, scalable adjunct to traditional teaching.
