Bioinformatics for medical students: a 5-year experience using OMIM® in medical student education.
Article in Genetics in medicine : official journal of the American College of Medical Genetics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposeGiven advances in genomic medicine, medical students need increased confidence in clinical genetics skills to address multiple genetic conditions. After success of first-year medical school instruction in the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM®) database, we report the impact on gaining confidence in broad clinical genetics skills in 5 subsequent years.
methodsWe collected 5 years of successive pre- and postintervention survey based self-assessments on medical student use of genetic medicine information resources and confidence in genetic medicine skills. To assess retention of confidence in these skills, we administered a follow-up survey to students after 1-2 years of clinical rotations.
resultsWe found a consistent, statistically significant increase in students' confidence in clinical genetics skills after the first-year OMIM educational session, with confidence retention above baseline up to 2 years after the educational exposure. Skills include ability to generate a differential diagnosis for genetic conditions, share information with patients and families, and find accurate information on genetic conditions. The majority agreed that increased use of OMIM will better prepare students to achieve these skills.
conclusionIntegration of the OMIM database in first-year education is an effective instructional tool that may provide a lasting increase in confidence in clinical genetics skills.
