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

Leaves of absence (LOA) from medical school increase student stress and academic risk. We developed a course to support students returning to the clerkship year after a leave. The course was evaluated favorably by students and was reported to effectively prepare them for their clerkship year. We compared academic outcomes for course participants, students who took a LOA but did not participate in RICM, and traditional students. Planned LOA participants performed similarly to traditional students. However, students with unplanned LOAs faced higher academic risks and attrition, with course participation being associated with a reduction in post-clerkship delays in graduation. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40670-025-02345-4.
