Evaluating the Impact of Early Career Academic Medicine Workshops on Medical Students' Interest.

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 Academic medicine is an important field that has had a notable decline in physician interest. The aim of this study was to introduce academic medicine to medical students early in their careers with a workshop in the medical school setting, beyond conferences, to promote even greater interest in the field. Methods This workshop consisted of (1) an informational didactic session using a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, (2) small-group breakout discussion sessions to review case scenarios, and (3) a faculty panel to provide personal anecdotes and advice to students. The authors administered online pre- and post-workshop surveys to the students. One workshop was presented to first-year medical students and another to second-year medical students at California University of Science and Medicine. Data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 27.0 for Windows. Pre- and post-workshop survey question means were compared using a paired t-test. Results There were 104 pre-clerkship student attendees, 83 of whom were in their first year and 21 in their second. Within each class year, there was a statistical significance in pre- and post-workshop survey responses for questions one through four (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001), but question five responses were not statistically significant (p = 0.78). Conclusion Academic medicine workshops held early in medical students' careers are an effective way to foster interest in the field. Implementing academic medicine scholars' programs, in addition to these workshops, can help provide guidance and resources for students who want to pursue a career in academic medicine.
