Perception and Impact of the Family Adoption Program (FAP) Among Indian Medical Students: Benefits and Challenges.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 The National Medical Commission of India recommends the Family Adoption Program (FAP) under Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) in the MBBS curriculum. Medical students can witness firsthand the living situations of the people they treat as patients in the hospital through community participation. Students also learn how various health factors impact patients in real-world settings. This study aimed to assess the perceived benefits and impact of FAP in the educational and professional development of medical students and explore the challenges and critical facilitators for medical students participating in FAP. Methodology First, second, and third-year medical undergraduate students who were enrolled in FAP by the Department of Community Medicine participated in an observational study during the last visit of FAP by using a structured questionnaire on the perception of the benefits of FAP and its possible future impact, as well as an investigation of the obstacles and enablers encountered when conducting FAP. Results Approximately 90% of the 305 students who participated believed that FAP is beneficial for their own personal and professional growth. Additionally, they mentioned that faculty engagement was the main factor that encouraged them to participate in FAP, with the benefits outweighing the challenges. Conclusions Medical students often find it difficult to get involved in family adoption programs, but they can be helped by a friendly environment, the correct tools, and mentorship. Medical schools can encourage a future generation of healthcare providers who are more involved and empathetic by addressing these issues and strengthening essential facilitators.
