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: As psychiatry residency programs grow increasingly competitive, innovative mentorship models are needed to support medical students' academic development. This study evaluates the Medical Student Resident Liaison (MSRL) Program, implemented in the academic year 2023-2024, aimed at connecting medical students to psychiatry-related scholarly opportunities, including research, teaching, and networking. Methods: Eighteen participants completed surveys assessing changes in knowledge, interest, project access, and confidence in their residency applications. Additionally, a focus group interview with medical students provided qualitative insights, analyzed through thematic analysis to identify key experiences and areas for improvement. Results: Survey analysis revealed significant increases in students' perceived knowledge ( Conclusion: The MSRL program effectively enhanced students' academic growth, confidence, and engagement with psychiatry. It serves as an adaptable model for addressing limited faculty availability and increasing interest in psychiatry residency. Implementing structured mentorship programs as early as the first or second year of medical school may further enhance student preparedness, particularly if coupled with faculty-led networking opportunities. As previous research indicates, residents' unique position in mentorship is associated with better medical student outcomes, and we advise the implementation of the MSRL program to all interested specialties. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40670-025-02404-w.
