Eligibility of Medical Students to Serve as Principal Investigator: An Evidence-based Approach.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Determining the eligibility of principal investigators (PIs) is a challenging task, especially at an academic institution. The prevailing practice within the academic community is not to grant PI status to students. There is a lack of studies that have investigated students' eligibility to serve as PI. This study aimed to explore the faculty and students' perceptions of the PI eligibility of medical students. A secondary objective was to assist the university in developing an evidence-based PI eligibility policy. To achieve the study aims, the investigators developed and validated a survey that targeted both faculty and students of Alfaisal University, College of Medicine (COM). In total, 53 faculty (four were administrators), and 135 medical students responded. The response rates were approximately 50% and 12% for faculty and students, respectively. Of the faculty, 62% reported that medical students are not PI eligible without the supervision of a faculty member. Of the students, 77% reported that they were not qualified to serve as PI. The results of the current study support the practice at most universities of not allowing medical students to serve as PI.
