Taking Off the Mask: Impostorism and Medical Education.
Article in PRiMER (Leawood, Kan.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction: Professional identity formation is the complex and iterative process by which medical students learn to think, act, and feel like physicians. Methods: Using mask making, we iteratively explored changes in student perceptions of their identity across time during medical school. Results: Themes of impostorism, uncertainty, and identity progression/integration were identified. Conclusion: Mask making represents a unique method to examine fundamental themes in identity formation for medical students.
