Utilizing Instagram Stories to deliver educational content to medical students in pediatrics: curricular design and evaluation.
Article in Medical education online, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Utilization of social media has been described in medical education, but Instagram as an educational platform for the pediatric clerkship has not yet been reported. We created a 29-item Instagram Story curriculum with summative examination-relevant topics to supplement the pediatric clerkship for third-year medical students. Engagement in the Instagram curriculum was assessed by measuring Storyviews, calculating Story retention rates (number of users who viewed al lslides/number of users who viewed the first slide 100) and analyzing mini-quizperformance. Students completed a voluntary 7-item survey at clerkship end to assess overall satisfaction with the Instagram curriculum. Quantitative analysis of questions using a 7-item scale and qualitative analysis of responses from open-ended questions were performed. A total of 132 students participated over a period of eight 6-week blocks. During the study period, the average number of views on the first slide in a Story was 24.8 and the average number of views on the last slide of a story was 13.3 per block. Average retention rate was 54.3%, mini-quiz engagement rate was 32.0%, and percent correct on mini-quizzes was 87.6%. Students positively rated the Instagram curriculum on feasibility (83.6%), clerkship relevance (89.1%), facilitating engagement in the material (65.5%), assisting in NBME pediatric subject exam preparation (61.8%), and recommending the modality to other clerkships (69.1%). This study provides evidence that the use of an Instagram curriculum within a core pediatric clerkship is feasible, engaging, relevant, and favorably received by medical students. We conclude that Instagram can be successfully integrated into clinical undergraduate medical education.
