Impact of Community-Based Medical Education Program Content on Medical Students' Applications for Community Residency Positions.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIn this study, we compared four practice areas showing a medium-term effect of community-based medical education (CBME) with those that did not examine more effective practice content.
methodsThis observational study analyzed summer internship programs between 2015 to 2019 undertaken by Hyogo Prefecture community-based physicians who initiated training for regional quota students in 2017-2021. For applying to become a resident in each hospital, risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated based on the presence or absence of practice experience and grade of experience for each region. The content of practical CBME training in Tamba and three other regions was compared.
resultsNinety-four participants were included (58 men and 36 women). CBME experience in Tamba during their senior years significantly increased the number of applicants for initial residency training compared with the number of participants who had no CBME experience in a determined region (RR=1.58, 95% CI: 1.04-2.39) and who experienced CBME during their junior years (RR=2.23, 95% CI: 1.15-4.33). In contrast to other regions, practice times in Tamba were longer for fostering empathy toward the community, understanding local healthcare needs, and building harmony with community residents.
conclusionsCBME with such training content enhances interaction with residents, thus demonstrating its educational value for the first time. As a next step, we should consider interviewing participants directly about their interactions with residents and whether CBME influenced their choice of place of employment.
