A text mining analysis of perceptions of the COVID-19 pandemic among final-year medical students.
Article in Acute medicine & surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
aimThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has presented various challenges to medical schools. We performed a text mining analysis via essay task to clarify perceptions among final-year medical students toward the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodsWe posed the following essay question to 124 final-year medical students: "What should medical staff do during the COVID-19 pandemic; what should you do?" Responses were subjected to quantitative analysis using a text mining approach. Frequently occurring key words were extracted, followed by multidimensional scaling and co-occurrence network calculations.
resultsOf the 124 students, 123 (99.2%) responded to the essay question. The following seven key words were identified as high-frequency words: medical, infection, patient, human, myself, doctor, and information. Co-occurrence network calculations revealed that the word "medical" had a high degree of correlation with most key words, except for "doctor." The word "myself" was correlated with not only "medical" but also "infection," "human," and "doctor."
conclusionOur analysis of perceptions among final-year medical students toward the COVID-19 pandemic revealed that most medical students are strongly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and are motivated to work as physicians among health care professionals.
