1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Peer tutoring is an essential service in higher education, requiring comprehensive training that transcends academic content to include leadership development. This study assessed the impact of a tutoring and mentoring intervention on the leadership skills of tutors. Seven medical students participated in a year-long program involving leadership workshops, peer tutor training, and mentoring. Pre- and post-test results showed a large effect on 12 of 30 leadership questions and a medium effect on 6, demonstrating significant leadership growth in peer tutors. This study highlights how mentoring and tutoring can significantly enhance tutors' leadership abilities, supporting their holistic growth and preparing them for future leadership roles.
