Correlation Between Research Productivity During Medical School and Radiation Oncology Residency.
Article in Advances in radiation oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Purpose: This analysis investigates whether research productivity during medical school predicts future research productivity during radiation oncology residency. Methods and Materials: At our institution, there have been 20 medical students who graduated between 2005 and 2015 and subsequently completed their residency training in radiation oncology. We built a database of all PubMed-indexed publications in which these former students were the first author or coauthor. Mean publication rates with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were computed. The paired Results: A total of 14 and 60 first-author publications (46 and 117 coauthor publications) were identified for 20 individuals during medical school and residency, respectively. There was an average of 0.7 (95% CI, 0.17-1.23) first-author publications during medical school and 3.08 (95% CI, 1.56-4.44) first-author publications during residency ( Conclusions: Based on this retrospective analysis from our institution, student research productivity during medical school, as defined by the number of first-author publications, does correlate with future research productivity during radiation oncology residency.
