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
Objectives: To assess the impact of a pre-clinical elective course on medical students' engagement with and understanding of the field of otolaryngology. Methods: Between February and April 2024, seven virtual lectures were delivered by otolaryngologists from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The course was designed for pre-clinical medical students and included sessions on various otolaryngology subspecialties, with one lecture focused on challenging cases. Pre- and post-course surveys, administered anonymously, assessed students' engagement and understanding of otolaryngology using a five-point Likert scale. Demographic data were collected in the pre-course survey; course feedback was collected post-course. A Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to analyze changes in responses. Results: Ten (83%) out of 12 registered students completed both surveys. 90% ( Conclusion: A pre-clinical elective in otolaryngology provides early exposure, deepening students' understanding of the specialty, its pathologies, and procedures, and preparing them for a potential career in this competitive field. Level of Evidence: N/A.
