Call for Action: Undergraduate Medical Education Assessment-Advocating for a Transition From Tiered to Competency-Based Grading.
Article in Journal of medical education and curricular development. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Traditionally, undergraduate medical education (UME) grading has been based on a tiered system. Tier-based grading can cause anxiety as medical students are compared to their peers. Students then become overly driven by the pursuit of creating favorable impressions by supervisors as well as by high grades. Additionally, the emphasis on normative parameters appears to misalign with the goal of UME which is to not sort learners into different residency programs but to train future doctors to meet the needs of society. This commentary is a call for action to shift from utilizing a normative-based grading paradigm in UME to implementing one in which learners are being assessed on their ability to attain specific competencies. It is important that UME transitions to competency-based assessments as the graduate medical education (GME) realm has already adopted this framework.
