The Positive Influence of the Hidden Curriculum in Medical Education: A Scoping Review.
Review in Medical science educator, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The negative influence of the hidden curriculum in medical education is often foregrounded in the literature. This scoping review explores the positive influence of the hidden curriculum on medical student's learning, offering recommendations to harness its potential for teaching and learning. Following Arksey and O'Malley's six-stage review process, four themes were developed: positive role-modelling, supportive team environments, positive institutional culture, and navigating ambiguity. These factors shape the positive influences of the hidden curriculum, influencing students' implicit learning. By acknowledging the diverse aspects of the hidden curriculum, faculty and clinical teachers can prepare students to critically reflect on their learning experiences, recognizing the positive influences that enable learning and shape their identities as professionals.
