Drawing It Out: A Descriptive Study on How Medical Students Use Graphic Medicine to Depict Their Transition to Third Year.
Article in Medical science educator, 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
Purpose: Graphic medicine provides a unique method for medical students transitioning to clinical rotations to express their sentiments. Materials and Methods: In total, 36 cartoons created by 248 third-year medical students to represent their transition to clinical rotations in 2018-2019 were qualitatively analyzed for tone and common thematic elements. Results: Twenty-four (67%) of these cartoons were coded as negative, eight (22%) were mixed, and four (11%) were positive. Common themes present were the use of horror imagery, feelings of inadequacy, and time pressure. Discussion: Analysis of graphic medicine provides educators an opportunity to reflect and incorporate ways to address the problems highlighted.
