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

Cardiac auscultation is a fundamental clinical skill for veterinary graduates; however, acquiring this competence remains challenging because opportunities for repeated exposure to a wide range of cardiac abnormalities may often be limited during undergraduate training. This study evaluated whether supplementing written self-directed learning with digital equine phonocardiographic recordings improves veterinary students' ability to recognize and interpret equine cardiac auscultation findings. Forty-one fourth-year veterinary students from the Universities of Milan and Pisa were voluntarily enrolled and randomly assigned to receive either written learning materials alone (Group 1,
