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
Introduction: The University of Kansas School of Medicine (KUSOM) seeks to improve health care in Kansas by matriculating students likely to meet the state's needs. A decline in in-state applicants and increased national scrutiny of admissions policies prompted a review of the admissions process to ensure alignment with the school's mission. Authors of this study evaluated the implementation and outcomes of a mission-driven, holistic admissions approach. Methods: For the 2024 admissions cycle, KUSOM adopted a structured process emphasizing mission alignment across four stages: (1) Pre-screening - prioritizing applicants with strong Kansas ties; (2) Screening - enhancing secondary application questions to assess mission-relevant attributes; (3) Interviewing - using structured evaluations to assess mission-driven qualities; and (4) Selection - integrating mission alignment into committee deliberations. Admissions data from 2021 to 2024 were analyzed to assess impact. Results: The updated process resulted in notable improvements. Kansas resident matriculants increased from 74% in 2023 to 85% in 2024. Interview invitations and admission offers to Kansas residents also rose. Matriculants with Kansas ties increased from 11 in 2021 to 19 in 2024. Conclusions: A mission-driven, holistic admissions process successfully increased the number of students likely to practice in Kansas. These findings support the effectiveness of structured admissions strategies in meeting state health care workforce needs. Further research is needed to evaluate the long-term impact on residency and practice locations.
