Student Perceptions of a Reflective Writing-based Wellness Course: "Good in Theory, But..."
Article in Medical science educator, 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.

To offset disconcerting trends showing alarming rates of burnout and other types of psychological distress among medical students, many medical schools have implemented wellness initiatives for first year students as they are first adjusting to the rigors of medical school. This study examines students' attitudes toward a reflective writing-based wellness course. We conducted a thematic analysis of 97 writings that students wrote in response to a prompt asking them what they thought of the wellness course at an American Midwestern medical school. The most consistent perception that students expressed was that while they were deeply appreciative of the effort to integrate wellness into the curriculum (what we call
