Performance Trends and Grading Variability in Clinical Education: A Record-Based Cross-Sectional Study of Medical Graduate Students at Mutah University, Jordan.

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
Objective: To examine five-year trends in academic performance across four final-year clinical subjects and evaluate the relationship between pre-admission scores and university academic outcomes. It also assessed the variability in grading practices across four clinical departments. Methods: A record-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 1584 medical graduate students (cohorts 2020-2024) at Mutah University, Jordan. Data included General Secondary School Examination (Tawjihi) scores, grades in four core clinical subjects (Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, and Obstetrics-Gynecology) and cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA). Analysis used descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficients, analysis of variance and regression models. Results: Tawjihi scores showed a weak but statistically significant correlation with GPA (r = 0.257; p < 0.001). Subject grades correlated significantly with GPA (Pediatrics r = 0.810), Obstetrics-Gynecology r = 0.786, Internal Medicine r = 0.779, Surgery r = 0.628; all p < 0.001). Year-to-year differences were significant across all subjects ( Conclusion: Grading variability across departments highlight the importance of standardization in clinical evaluation. These findings emphasize the need for unified assessment frameworks to enhance equity and reliability in medical education.
