The educational impact of medical students' participation in a short-term health expedition: The Iguape one health experience.

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
objectivesThe primary goal of this study is to evaluate the educational effects of medical students' participation in a health expedition project. Specific objectives include assessing students' perceptions of the educational value of the program, measuring gains in clinical knowledge and skills, evaluating behavioral changes, professional orientation, and students' willingness to work within the public health system (SUS) after graduation.
methodsA quantitative methodology was employed, following Kirkpatrick's four-level evaluation model. Questionnaires were administered before and after participation in the expedition to assess students' reactions, learning, and empathy. The sample comprised all 15 students who participated in the expedition, with data analysis performed using R software.
resultsThe analysis highlighted that the expedition experience significantly impacted student's career trajectories. Approximately 80 % of participants reported that the expedition positively influenced their career decisions, and 60 % expressed interest in working within the SUS. These findings suggest that while expeditions may not yield quantifiable gains in clinical competence in the short term, they can be catalysts in forming physicians oriented towards public service and social sensitivity.
conclusionsHealth expeditions like the one conducted may not offer significant improvements in measurable clinical competencies in the short term but have a substantial effect on students' career decisions, aligning with public health needs and reinforcing commitment to service in vulnerable contexts. This influence suggests that practical experiences in community settings play a crucial role in shaping medical students' professional aspirations, emphasizing the importance of such programs in medical education aimed at social responsibility and health equity.
