Academic outcomes of geriatric medicine theses in internal medicine residency: a 25-year nationwide review in Türkiye.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThis nationwide study evaluated the research topics, methodological characteristics, institutional distribution, and publication outcomes of geriatric medicine-related internal medicine residency theses in Türkiye between 1998 and 2022.
methodsA total of 234 geriatric medicine-related theses registered in the Turkish Higher Education Council Thesis Center were retrospectively analyzed. Data included thesis design, research topic, institution type (university vs. training and research hospital), and publication metrics (publication status, indexing, publication delay, and authors' current specialties).
resultsCross-sectional design was the most common (63.7%). The overall publication rate was 47.4%, with a median publication delay of 2 years (IQR 1-4). Publication rates were higher in university hospitals than in training and research hospitals (51.4% vs. 32.7%, p = 0.002). Methodological theses showed higher publication success (p = 0.019). Publication rates declined from 59.2% in 1998-2014 to 42.3% in 2015-2022 (p = 0.018). Theses authored by future geriatricians had higher publication rates (78.8% vs. 43.3%, p < 0.001). Despite an increase in geriatric syndrome thesis topics, no significant association was found between publication status and thesis categories.
conclusionsGeriatric medicine has gained increasing academic visibility in internal medicine training in Türkiye. However, declining publication rates and institutional shifts highlight the need for stronger mentorship and structured research support in residency programs.
