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

Professor-Reviewed Exam Practice (PREP) is a student-faculty partnership that co-creates curriculum-aligned formative questions for the entire preclinical medical school class to use in active learning. PREP has sustained its productivity over three medical school classes. Here we describe PREP's recruitment process and its near-peer mentorship program that prepares new members to independently create PREP-style formative questions. PREP's productivity and the utilization of its formative questions across classes is evaluated, demonstrating that the workflow is sustainable. We believe that this program could be adopted by other schools to broaden the availability of free curriculum-aligned formative questions in preclinical medical education. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40670-025-02406-8.
