Medical Students' Observations of High Value and Potentially Wasteful Care Behaviors Modeled During Clinical Rotations.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundMedical student exposure to role-modeling of high-value care (HVC) behaviors may shape professional identity formation and future HVC practices.
objectiveTo investigate the frequency and characteristics of HVC role-modeling witnessed by medical students during core clinical rotations.
designCross-sectional survey study.
participantsMedical students on clinical rotations at 11 US medical schools. MAIN MEASURES: A validated 13-item survey was used to assess medical student perception of cost-conscious role-modeling behaviors or potentially wasteful role-modeling behaviors and modified to include whom demonstrated the behavior (attending vs resident/fellow) and during which clinical rotation the modeling occurred. KEY
resultsCost-conscious role-modeling behaviors were observed by medical students sometimes/often 52.9-70.5% (353/667-452/641) of the time across all clinical rotations, except for praising a student for ordering a cost-effective diagnostic work-up which was seen only 25.7% (143/556) of the time. Potentially wasteful role-modeling behaviors were observed sometimes/often 5-14.3% (26/537-87/609) of the time, except simultaneously ordering numerous tests before seeing results of initial screening tests 45.1% (273/605) and repeating tests rather than attempting to obtain recently performed test results 32.2% (194/602). HVC modeling was most often demonstrated by internal medicine attendings 67.7% (65/96) and least frequently by general surgery attendings 47.3% (17/36). Attendings were overall more likely to model HVC compared to residents/fellows.
conclusionHVC role-modeling, as observed by medical students, is not consistently demonstrated across clinical rotations. Attendings generally model more HVC than residents and general surgery models less HVC compared to other specialties. Future studies should strive to identify factors which promote or inhibit HVC modeling.
