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

Objective: The purpose of higher education, particularly in the medical fields, is to serve humanity, and reflect on core values such as compassion, care, and empathy. This study examines how medical students uphold moral values as they progress through their education, addressing a research gap in the Indian context. Methods: After obtaining Institutional Ethics Committee approval, a cross-sectional survey was conducted using a self-administered Google questionnaire. Content validity was ensured through consultations with 5 experts, and reliability was confirmed with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of .75. Data were collected from medical students in India using snowball sampling and analyzed using median, interquartile range, chi-squared test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. The sample size was set at 518, taking into account the nonresponders. Results: Of 1500 invites, 526 students responded, which corresponds to a response rate of 35.06%. Reliability analysis revealed a high internal consistency (α = Conclusion: The study shows that medical students prioritize ethics and altruism over authority and materialism, with enjoyment and adventure playing a balancing role. The significant influence of authority and materialism on ethics and altruism suggests that competitive and materialistic values influence ethical priorities. Understanding how different factors impact values and well-being can guide educators and policymakers in fostering ethical practices and supporting student resilience.
