Enhancing the research enterprise at a health sciences university: A call for an institutional paradigm shift.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 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
backgroundThere exists a rapidly growing need for a universally robust research enterprise at health sciences universities because of recent changes in the medical education landscape. This study aimed to evaluate student perceptions of (and challenges conducting) research and to implement effective strategies to expose students to enhanced resources and training. MATERIALS AND
methodsAn anonymous survey developed using participatory research methods was disseminated to all students at a graduate health sciences university in 2023. This measured their engagement in research, resource needs, and barriers. Descriptive statistics quantitively analyzed factors that influence student participation in research, perceived benefits, and obstacles to performing research. Content analyses of open-ended responses outlined strategies to improve the research endeavor.
resultsOf 580 responses, the vast majority (78%) were "interested" or "very interested" in performing research, but only 36% were actively engaged in projects. The most commonly cited benefit of research was to improve competitiveness for future training opportunities (431 [18%] responses). Frequently listed barriers to conducting research were lack of time within the curriculum (290 [27%] responses), inadequate institutional support (278 [26%]), and faculty unavailability (207 [19%]). Students proposed multiple initiatives to enhance research infrastructure, including a central communication website to exchange research ideas, expansion of research mentors and opportunities/partnerships, and hiring research-focused support staff.
conclusionsA critical need exists at health sciences universities for a shift toward universal recognition of the need for an enhanced research enterprise that addresses key barriers to student engagement. This study proposes strategies to achieve an active research model.
