Academic and Professional Outcomes of Participants in an Emergency Department Research Associate Program.
Article in AEM education and training, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesStudies have found that participation in emergency department research associate (EDRA) programs is associated with medical school acceptance. However, little is known about the association between EDRA program participation and other academic and professional outcomes. We sought to characterize the academic and professional outcomes of EDRA program participants and their perception of program influence on academic and professional outcomes.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study of University of Rochester EDRA program participants who graduated from the program May 2010 to May 2017. EDRAs were sent a secure, deidentified, survey. Standard descriptive statistics were used to characterize participant demographics and outcomes. National acceptance rates were referenced from sources.
resultsA total of 56 graduates completed the survey (64% response rate). Forty (71%) identified as female, 12 (21%) identified as Asian, one (2%) identified as Black or African American, and three (5%) identified as Hispanic or Latino. Acceptance rates to MD programs, DO programs, PhD programs, and master's programs were 88% (22/25), 92% (12/13), 100% (2/2), and 100% (9/9), respectively. Rates were significantly higher compared to national rates (all p < 0.001). Eighty-three percent (30/36 responses) and 74% (37/50) spoke about the EDRA program during postgraduate program and job interviews, respectively, and 78% (35/45 responses) included the EDRA program in their personal statements. Twenty-five percent (14/55) changed their career goals after participating in the EDRA program, of which 36% (5/14) left medicine and 21% (3/14) were undecided and chose to become a physician.
conclusionsAn EDRA program can help develop and support a career in medicine and science. EDRA graduates used their experiences directly in their postgraduate program applications and job interviews. Acceptance rates of EDRA program graduates to postgraduate programs were higher than national averages. An EDRA program can help clarify career goals after program participation.
