Demographics, Trends, and Outcomes of Medical Student Presenters at National Plastic Surgery Conferences: A 10-year Analysis.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Background: Research is an increasingly substantial criterion for competitive applicants entering the plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS) match. Presenting at conferences provides valuable networking opportunities, especially for students from schools without home-integrated PRS programs (no home program [NHP]). We sought to characterize the demographics and outcomes of student presenters at national PRS conferences. Methods: Student presenters were obtained from annual meeting programs of 3 national PRS conferences from 2013 to 2022. Data were collected on demographics, presentation frequency, presenters' home and/or research institutions, and match outcomes using Doximity, residency webpages, and LinkedIn. The Pearson χ Results: Overall, 745 students delivered 1133 presentations with an approximate 13-fold increase during 10 years. Approximately 61% matriculated into an integrated PRS residency program. NHP presenters comprised 20%, with a 58% match rate, compared with 62% for students who had a home program (HP) ( Conclusions: Presenting multiple times at national conferences is associated with a greater PRS match rate. NHP students have a higher likelihood of matching when collaborating with a separate HP institution. Rising volumes of student presentations at PRS conferences suggest that engaging in research, perhaps due to the importance of networking at conferences, may be integral to matching.
