Health Advocacy and Training Perceptions: a Comparison of Medical Student Opinions.
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 5 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
backgroundThe American Medical Association considers health advocacy to be a core aspect of a physician's responsibility, which has sparked medical schools to institutionalize training. However, there is little information regarding student perspectives on advocacy education. PURPOSE: To evaluate medical student opinions on advocacy education and to determine similarities and differences across classes.
methodsIn this qualitative study, four focus groups were conducted with five to eight students from each medical school class. Students were randomly selected from rosters and received an email to participate. Sessions were audiotaped and transcribed, and demographic data was obtained. Investigators reviewed transcripts independently and identified important items in each transcript then consolidated common themes into groups. These themes were integrated into concept map representations.
resultsOf those contacted, 25 (16%) students chose to participate in focus group sessions. All participants who responded to questionnaires (
conclusionsAll participating students identified advocacy as an important aspect of medicine, yet students felt inadequately prepared to participate in advocacy work. This reveals an opportunity to improve upon the formal education needed to engage in advocacy.
