1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: The Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE), a narrative summary of each student's academic and professional performance in US medical school is long, making it challenging for residency programs evaluating large numbers of applicants. Objective: To create a rubric to assess MSPE narratives and to compare the ability of 3 commercially available machine learning models (MLMs) to rank MSPEs in order of positivity. Methods: Thirty out of a possible 120 MSPEs from the University of Central Florida class of 2020 were de-identified and subjected to manual scoring and ranking by a pair of faculty members using a new rubric based on the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education competencies, and to global sentiment analysis by the MLMs. Correlation analysis was used to assess reliability and agreement between student rank orders produced by faculty and MLMs. Results: The intraclass correlation coefficient used to assess faculty interrater reliability was 0.864 ( Conclusions: The rubric for manual grading provided reliable overall scoring and ranking of MSPEs. The MLMs accurately detected positive sentiment in the MSPEs but were unable to provide reliable rank ordering.
