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

Vanderbilt University School of Medicine (VUSM) aims to catalyze the advancement of impactful discovery, servant leadership, and lifelong learning. During a curriculum revision, VUSM fostered lifelong learning by intentionally integrating a portfolio coaching program into a competency-based curriculum. At matriculation, each student is paired with a faculty coach, and the dyads meet at regularly scheduled intervals until graduation. The program is designed to inspire and support students in reaching their full potential, assist students in creating and meeting academic goals, and support informed self-assessment to facilitate self-regulation and lifelong learning. With over 10 years of continuous refinement and extensive student participation data, this stands as one of the most mature and comprehensive undergraduate medical education coaching programs. This manuscript describes the implementation, institutional experience, and outcomes of the VUSM Portfolio Coaching Program.
