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

Imposter phenomenon, characterized by persistent self-doubt and a fear of being exposed as a fraud, has become increasingly recognized within the last decade. Recent studies show that imposter phenomenon is widespread within the medical community, yet there exists no consensus framework or model to understand and assist those experiencing the phenomenon. This article aims to provide a practical guideline for managing imposter phenomenon in physicians and medical students at all levels. We propose that the use of specific strategies designed to support medical professionals can aid in recognizing, confronting, and overcoming imposter feelings.
