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

objectiveProviding medical students with psychiatry research opportunities early in their careers may contribute to fostering career interests and increasing research literacy and interest. In this report, the authors describe the Psychiatry Medical Student Scholars Program (MSSP) at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and the results from a survey of its impact on student career outcomes over 9 years.

methodsAll MSSP participants were invited to complete an online survey via SurveyMonkey to assess the impact of the program on their interest in psychiatry and research.

resultsThe MSSP began in 2012 with one student. There have been 47 MSSP participants from 2012 to 2021. Rapid growth of the MSSP was seen with class sizes ranging from 1 to 11. At the time of survey, nineteen MSSP alumni graduated medical school and 28 were still in medical school. Sixty-six percent of eligible participants responded, with a 53% response rate for medical school alumni and a 75% response rate for current medical students. Nine out of nineteen (47%) MSSP students who had graduated from medical school selected a career in psychiatry. Eighty-four percent of participants had presented or published their research. Sixty-eight percent of participants reported that the program has been valuable in deciding their future specialty.

conclusionsParticipants tended to credit exposure to psychiatric research as medical students with fostering interest in the field and aiding in their career decisions. The components of the program described can be replicated at other institutions to increase exposure to psychiatric research.
