Enhancing Class Culture: Assessing and Improving the Impact of the "Thriving Together" Workshop for Dalhousie Medical Students.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Introduction Collaboration and collegiality in medical school benefit students' experiences and contribute to improved patient care. Learning environments have the potential to foster competition and discourage collaboration. Thriving Together was created to address class dynamics and culture early in medical training. Objective The objective of the study is to thoroughly evaluate the Thriving Together Workshop. Methods The Thriving Together workshop, led by upper-year students, comprises a presentation on class culture, anonymous polling, and small-group case-based exercises. It concludes with a large-group discussion. Pre- and post-workshop survey results were collected via Opinio software. A basic statistical and thematic analysis was conducted to identify response themes. Results The post-workshop survey response rate was 29 out of 41 attendees (70.7%) in 2022 and 20 out of 55 attendees (36.4%) in 2023. Forty-eight (96.6%) respondents would recommend the workshop to next year's medical cohort, and 44 (89.8%) were interested in a follow-up workshop. Qualitative comments were positive, with feedback focused on attendance, group randomization, and the need for formal resources and post-workshop follow-up. Conclusion The Thriving Together workshop has a positive impact on class culture as evidenced by voluntary attendance and positive survey responses. Strategies to improve attendance will be implemented for upcoming sessions and will focus on refining the workshop to encourage inter-group interactions. In addition, formal resources will be provided to those interested. These adjustments aim to sustain the positive impact of the Thriving Together initiative on medical school culture.
