Joint engineering-medical school programs prepare physicians for clinical challenges: An observational study.
Article in Health science reports, 2023. 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
Background and Aims: Modern health care faces a plethora of challenges including the delivery of quality and cost-efficient care. Physicians are first-hand observers of clinical problems but may lack the requisite training and education to develop innovations that improve patient care. Few medical education programs address innovation, leadership, and transdisciplinary collaboration despite being highlighted by national medical and education organizations including the American Medical Association. The University of Minnesota has implemented the Augustine program over the last 10-years to produce physicians that are leaders in medical innovation. Methods: As a novel joint engineering-medical school curriculum to educate medical students, residents, and fellows, the Augustine program incorporates engineering coursework, biomedical research, and a multidisciplinary design and business development experience to produce physicians capable of designing and marketing "disruptive technologies." The Augustine program takes 1-year to complete in addition to the 4-year medical education and provides a Master of Biomedical Engineering upon completion. Results: Augustine program graduates ( Conclusion: Augustine program graduates impact the entire spectrum of innovation and continue to improve patient care. The program will seek to emphasize the inclusion of physician residents and fellows with position expansion. The addition of a multi-week medical innovation clerkship will provide a more focused experience for students unable to dedicate an entire year to a transdisciplinary experience.
