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

introductionIntegration is the dynamic interconnectedness at multiple levels based on recursive interactions. Pathology teaching strategy in the integrated curriculum has been widely studied, but mapping pathology in the integrated curriculum has not been fully handled. AIM OF THIS STUDY: The aim of this work is to address the pathology teaching experience at Albaha School of Medicine.

methodsFor attaining the well-situated integration of pathology, the quadriphasic model for teaching/learning pathology in the integrated curriculum is fully formulated and well conducted. This model is formed on the basis of the incorporation of pathology foundations at all academic levels in 4 phases: Phase I: the introductory course of the preparatory phase; Phase II: formation of the 7-week principle of disease module: 2nd basic year; Phase III: integration of anatomic pathology into system-based basic science modules; and Phase IV: application of clinical perspectives on the pathological background in clinical years.

resultsInferences acquired through program evaluation as well as student assessment indicate that this model will be of practical use in medical schools. Trivial improvements and changes related to the balance between topics applied and time allocated are extensively needed. Despite the positive feedback obtained, minor pathology topics have been missed or only partially delivered.

conclusionThe quadriphasic model is a novel approach to teaching pathology and needs to be more documented and addressed by traditional medical schools that are in the process of shifting toward an integrated system-based learning. Addition of the module that covers the missed topics is highly recommended, and its content must be reformed annually.
