Social accountability: the extra leap to excellence for educational institutions.
Article in Medical teacher, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 45 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
More than ever are we facing the challenge of providing evidence that what we do responds to priority health needs and challenges of the ones we intend to serve: patients, citizens, families, communities and the nation at large. Which are those health needs and challenges? Who defines them? How do medical schools organize themselves to address them through their education, research and service delivery functions? Principles of social accountability call for an explicit three-tier engagement: identification of current and prospective social needs and challenges, adaptation of school's programmes to meet them and verification that anticipated effects have benefited society. Measurement tools need to be designed and tested to steer development in this direction, particularly to establish a meaningful relationship between inputs, processes, outputs and impact on health. The Global Consensus on Social Accountability of Medical Schools provides a unique opportunity to foster collaborative research and development in an area of great significance for the future of medical education.
