Analysis of more than 200 Nobel Lectures in Physiology or Medicine across a century reveals a surprising lack of mentor recognition by awardees.
Article in Medical education online, 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
The Nobel Prize is one of the most coveted awards in the world. The Nobel winners, also called Laureates, are invited to Stockholm to deliver their Nobel Lecture. Typically, this includes a historical and scientific overview of their discoveries, often enriched by anecdotes from their personal and professional lives. In this study, we explored more than two hundred Nobel Lectures to examine whether, how and whom newly crowned Nobel Prize winners explicitly mentioned as their mentors. We conducted an exploratory analysis of 208 Nobel Lectures in Physiology or Medicine delivered between 1901 and 2023 by using the search function to look for the keyword
