Tracking changes in medical students' perceptions of academic ethics: a longitudinal study.
Article in Korean journal of medical education, 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
purposeMedical students are expected to cultivate professionalism as a core competency, which is reflected in their perceptions of academic ethics. This study examined how students' perceptions of academic ethics, both for themselves and their peers, evolve during their time in medical school and whether these changes differ by sex.
methodsWe surveyed 87 medical students enrolled in a South Korean medical school in the years 2020 and 2023. The survey was designed to measure medical students' perceptions of academic ethics and comprised questions regarding both self-perception and peer perception. Data analysis was performed using paired t-tests.
resultsBoth male and female students reported continuous improvement in their academic ethics as they progressed through medical school. Female rated their academic ethics more highly than male and demonstrated a more significant change in scores over time. Additionally, female observed an increase in their peers' academic ethics, whereas men perceived a decline. Notably, upper-year students rated their peers' academic ethics more favorably than did lower-year students.
conclusionThis study reveals differences in the evolution of academic ethics perceptions between male and female students, highlighting the need for sex-specific academic ethics education in medical school curricula. Moreover, it demonstrates how medical students' perceptions of academic ethics evolve over time, emphasizing the importance of academic ethics education across school years. These findings offer practical insights for improving medical school curricula and underscore the potential of academic ethics education in fostering ethical awareness among future medical professionals.
