Impact of hands-on workshops on future medical students' motivation, confidence, and career aspirations: an observational study.
Observational study in Journal of medicine and life, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Workshops serve as an extrinsic motivational tool for medical students, enhancing their knowledge, self-confidence, and practical skills. These workshops could have a similar impact on future medical students, who may have various reasons for their aspiration to follow a career in medicine. The main goal of our study was to demonstrate that participating in hands-on workshops boosts the motivation of future medical students to work toward a career in medicine. The second goal was to evaluate the amount of first aid assistance participants provided, their willingness to deliver first aid, and the impact on self-perceived confidence in their practical skills after attending this experience. Workshops were conducted across multiple cities, engaging 540 participants between March and November 2024. At year-end, a custom questionnaire assessed their motivation, self-confidence, and medical career aspirations. A total of 186 participants met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Participants had a median age of 18.5 years (18-19.75) and graduated high school (55.4%). Most chose to follow medicine due to a strong desire to help or an exclusive desire to practice in this field. Significant increases in respondents' Likert scale ratings were observed before and after the workshops (
