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

Objective: To evaluate the association between an Intelligent Hypertension Excellence Centers (iHEC)-integrated teaching model and multidimensional educational outcomes in standardized residency training, and to explore whether self-directed learning (SDL) mediates the association between digital health-enhanced training and educational performance. Methods: A retrospective sequential cohort study was conducted among 245 resident physicians who completed a standardized 4-week hypertension rotation in the Department of Geriatric Cardiology between September 2022 and August 2024. Residents were assigned to a conventional ward-based teaching cohort ( Results: Baseline characteristics and educational assessments were comparable between cohorts. After adjustment for baseline performance, specialty, and calendar time, the iHEC cohort demonstrated higher post-rotation OSCE scores [adjusted mean difference (AMD) 6.85, 95% CI 5.12-8.58, Conclusion: The iHEC hypertension teaching model was associated with improved resident educational outcomes, with enhanced self-directed learning representing a potential explanatory pathway underlying these observed associations; prospective multicenter studies are needed to further evaluate causal relationships, long-term retention, and implementation feasibility.
