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

purposeLeadership in healthcare is vital, but it remains fragmented within medical school curricula. It is often confined to isolated courses lacking cohesive integration. Using the Medical Leadership Competency Framework (MLCF), this study examines leadership curricula and competencies in Korean medical schools, providing a foundation for educational strategies that enhance leadership development.

methodsWe conducted survey among professors responsible for leadership education in medical schools. Our questionnaire assessed leadership competencies and curriculum content. We analyzed responses from 34 medical schools using frequency and content analysis.

resultsLeadership-related content in institutional missions, educational objectives, and graduation competencies predominantly aligned with MLCF domains 1 and 2. Leadership courses were primarily offered at the premedical and medical stages, with a strong emphasis on these domains. However, perceptions of the necessity of leadership subcompetencies varied by educational stage, with most considered essential during clinical clerkships. High priority competencies included domains 1 and 2, particularly 2.2 (building and maintaining relationships), 2.4 (working within teams) and 1.4 (acting with integrity). While 61.8% of respondents intended to develop leadership curricula, they emphasized the need to define medical leadership within the Korean context, specify leadership competencies, and design tailored curricula.

conclusionThis study underscores the need for medical leadership education and the development of competency-based curricula that reflect Korea's healthcare landscape. A well-integrated leadership curriculum can better equip medical students to become future healthcare leaders.
