Relationship between intern performance assessed by peers and academic performance in medical school: a preliminary study.
Article in Korean journal of medical education, 2025. 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
purposeThis study investigated the association between intern doctors' performance as assessed by their peers and their academic performance in medical school.
methodsA retrospective cohort analysis was conducted with 21 graduates from a South Korean medical school who interned at an affiliated center. Participants underwent bi-annual peer evaluation for intern performance evaluations using a 5-point Likert scale on professionalism, clinical competencies, and interpersonal skills. Associations between peer ratings and grade point average (GPA), exit assessment scores, and Korean Medical Licensing Examination (KMLE) scores were analyzed.
resultsPeer ratings showed moderate to strong positive associations with exit assessments and KMLE scores, but no relationship with cumulative GPAs. Peer ratings correlated more strongly with objective structured clinical examinations than written tests.
conclusionMedical students' outcomes in exit assessments and KMLEs, especially clinical performance tests, are strong predictors of their performance as intern doctors. These findings highlight the value of clinical performance assessments for predicting intern doctors' performance and suggest the need for more comprehensive and authentic assessment methods to enhance their predictive validity.
