Personalized tutoring narrows the clinician-faculty gap in General Surgery exam scores among vocational medical students.
Article in BMC 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
introductionTo explore the impact of teaching by clinical educators and faculty educators on the academic performance of vocational medical students, this study analyzed the final exam scores of four classes in the General Surgery course (2023 cohort) at our institution's School of Clinical Medicine.
methodsThis study conducted a questionnaire survey of 154 students in the 2023 cohort of the clinical medicine major at our college and collected their final exam scores for the General Surgery course. All data were statistically analyzed using R software and GraphPad Prism 9.5.1.
resultsClinical educators are more effective in integrating theoretical knowledge with clinical practice, but they show deficiencies in classroom discipline, learning supervision, and teacher-student interaction. Personalized tutoring can significantly improve the academic performance of students in clinician-taught class, bringing their grades to a level comparable to those in courses taught by faculty educators.
conclusionThis study demonstrates that personalized tutoring effectively improves written exam performance in clinician-taught classes to levels comparable with faculty-taught classes, while faculty-taught classes show no significant benefit from additional tutoring. We recommend targeted pedagogical training for clinical educators and implementation of a clinician-faculty collaborative teaching model to better serve vocational medical students' learning needs.
