Impact of psychological wellbeing and academic readiness on early medical student attrition: educators' perspective.
Article in BMC research notes, 2024. 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
objectivesMedical school attrition is a complex problem, and improvement can only be achieved through the integrated involvement of all stakeholders. Mental health disorders are perceived to be prevalent among medical students in UAE. This study aimed to explore educators' perspectives on the high rate of early medical school attrition in UAE.
resultsThe findings suggest that the early medical school attrition rate is correlated with students' inadequate academic readiness and their inability to cope with the psychological demands of studying medicine in English. To reduce the attrition rate, the educators proposed preparatory courses to enhance students' self-learning skills and academic readiness for university studies, along with provision of targeted academic support throughout their medical studies. Psychological well-being and academic preparedness for studying medicine in English is a prime target for a program to reduce dropout from medical schools.
