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

The Medical School Hotline of the University of Hawai'i John A. Burns School of Medicine was founded in 1993, by Satoru Izutu PhD (former vice-dean of UH JABSOM). It is edited by Kathleen Kihmm Connolly PhD, HJH&W Contributing Editor. Understanding predictors of medical school acceptance is essential for informing effective premedical advising and applicant preparation. The objective of this study was to identify academic and advising-related factors associated with successful admission to medical school. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using institutional student records from the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa, including 238 premedical students who applied to medical school between 2018 and 2024. Academic variables included Medical College Admission Test scores, cumulative grade point average, and Association of American Medical Colleges Professional Readiness Examination scores. Advising-related variables included the number of pre-health workshops attended and advising appointments completed. Medical school acceptance was significantly correlated with Medical College Admission Test scores (r = 0.595), grade point average (r = 0.443), and Professional Readiness Examination scores (r = 0.355), with all associations reaching statistical significance (
