Yellow wave: impact of a structured educational initiative on trauma education development.
Article in Acta cirurgica brasileira, 2026. 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
purposeTo evaluate the impact of the Yellow Wave Initiative on trauma surgery education, academic skills, career choices, and educational equity among medical students from three Brazilian medical schools.
methodsThis prospective longitudinal study enrolled 58 medical students from three institutions in Campinas, SP, Brazil. The intervention consisted of scientific mentorship, research methodology training, manuscript development for the 23rd European Congress of Trauma, and presentation skills workshops. Academic development, research capabilities, career intentions, and program satisfaction were assessed through post-congress electronic questionnaires using McNemar tests for paired comparisons and χ2 tests for associations.
resultsTrauma league members showed higher interest in general surgery compared to non-members (61.5 vs. 22.7%, odds ratio = 10.88, p = 0.002). Significant improvements were observed across key academic skills post-intervention (all p < 0.001), including presentation abilities (from 20.8% good/very good pre to 85.4% post), research capabilities (25 to 79.2%), and academic writing (20.8 to 83.3%). Additionally, 62% of participants reported positive impact on their academic career aspirations (p = 0.006).
conclusionThe initiative enhanced academic skills and career development among Brazilian medical students, increasing engagement in trauma surgery and prevention activities while addressing educational gaps through hands-on learning.
