Impact of Mentorship and Early Authorship on Long-Term Academic Productivity Among Orthopaedic Surgery Trainees.
Review in JB & JS open access. 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
Background: Early research involvement during medical training may influence several dimensions of future academic development of which scholarly productivity is one measurable component. This study evaluates whether publication activity during residency, including authorship role, journal impact, and mentor H-index, predicts long-term scholarly productivity among orthopaedic surgery trainees. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 112 orthopaedic surgery residents at a single academic institution was conducted. Resident publication metrics, including total publications, first-author contributions, and senior author H-index, were collected and correlated with postresidency academic output using bibliometric databases. Pearson and Spearman correlations, analysis of variance, and multivariable linear regression analyses were performed to identify independent predictors of long-term scholarly productivity. Results: Research productivity during residency significantly predicted future scholarly output. Residents with more publications during training had higher postresidency publication counts (r = 0.483, p < 0.001) and H-indices (r = 0.470, p = 0.0004). First-author publications during residency independently predicted postresidency productivity (B = 11.21, p < 0.001), as did coauthorship (B = 9.60, p < 0.001), together explaining 67.4% of the variance in total publications (R Conclusion: First-author publication experience during residency and mentorship by academically productive faculty are predictors of long-term scholarly success. These findings underscore the importance of structured research opportunities, with an emphasis on meaningful authorship, and high-impact academic mentorship in training programs to foster future productive orthopaedic surgeons. Level of Evidence: Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
