Academic Entitlement in Osteopathic Medical Students.
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
introductionAcademic entitlement (AE) is the tendency to hold a certain expectation of academic success without taking personal responsibility. The purpose of this study was to define AE in osteopathic medical education and assess AE in osteopathic medical students.
methodsA cross-sectional survey (n=145) was conducted at a school of osteopathic medicine using the Qualtrics Survey Platform (Provo, Utah, United States). The survey consisted of demographic data, academic performance, student satisfaction, and responses from two validated AE instruments. To be eligible, students had to be enrolled full time and a member of the OMS-1 to OMS-4 cohorts.
resultsStudents classified as academically entitled were significantly more likely to agree with statements reflecting externalized responsibility (ER) and entitled expectations (EE) (p<0.05). Additionally, students with higher AE scores were 3.8 times more likely to have a GPA below 85% (p=0.012), indicating a possible relationship between AE and lower academic success.
conclusionIdentifying academically entitled students early in their academic career provides an opportunity to intervene in the areas of unrealistic expectations, negative peer dynamics, and unprofessional conduct.
