Exploring LCME's New USMLE Norms of Accomplishment: Medical School Self-Reflection to Support Continuous Quality Improvement.
Article in Medical science educator, 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
The Liaison Committee on Medical Education has introduced new norms for United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) performance. Improving USMLE outcomes is a complex intervention that requires careful deliberation of tradeoffs, the coordination of many people and systems, and the marshalling of significant resources, so it is important that any increased attention to USMLE processes is approached strategically through a continuous quality improvement lens. We explore the potential implications of these new standards and present a self-reflection tool, inspired by the Ishikawa method, designed to help schools guide their USMLE-related initiatives by systematically considering possible root causes of below-target USMLE performance.
