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

The goal of this project was to develop and evaluate free, online Open-Educational Resource (OER) content for a forensic chemistry course, aligned with the Course-based-Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) model of instruction. Through this project, we created supplementary materials including case studies, forensic chemistry lab techniques, and demo videos. The course also provided a platform for the students to interact with forensic experts. Nine high impact practices were incorporated and aligned with CURE. The materials covered in the course are hosted on the LibGuides platform for equitable access. While student perceptions of OER material quality varied, they were strongly correlated with student experience. Additional attitudinal results suggest student self-efficacy significantly increased in response to participation in this OER forensic chemistry CURE. Instructors who wish to adopt or adapt these course materials should provide structured support for digital tools so all students find them accessible, maximizing the effectiveness of this OER CURE.
