Plastic Surgery Resident Origins: A Retrospective Study on the Leading Medical Schools Generating Integrated Residents.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 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
Background: Many institutions offer varying levels of opportunities for student involvement in plastic and reconstructive surgery. This study examined key factors at medical schools that produce the highest number of integrated plastic surgery residents to help identify successful educational models and program characteristics. Methods: The top 100 doctor of medicine programs of the United States that produced the most integrated plastic surgery residents from 2019 to 2024 were analyzed to identify factors that predict program success, including successful candidates, including the presence of a home integrated plastic surgery program and/or research fellowship, medical school class size, number of associated faculty and residents, and medical school ranking. Results: Programs with home integrated plastic surgery residency programs (1.8 versus 1.2 residents/y with no home program) and home plastic surgery research fellowships (2.3 versus 1.5 residents/y with no home program) produced significantly more residents per year than programs without these opportunities ( Conclusions: This study identified several key factors of US medical schools as reliable predictors of success in producing integrated plastic surgery residents.
