Examining Learning Resources Used by Year 5 Medical Students for UKMLA Preparation: A Descriptive Case Study.
Article in Medical science educator, 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
Introduction: The UK Medical Licensing Assessment (UKMLA), introduced in 2024/25, is a national requirement for all final-year UK medical students. This Case Study explores how Year 5 students at Kent and Medway Medical School (KMMS) prepared for both components of the UKMLA, the Applied Knowledge Test (AKT) and the Clinical and Professional Skills Assessment (CPSA). Methods: An electronic survey containing Likert-scale, multiple-choice, and open-text questions was distributed to the Year 5 cohort ( Results: Students relied heavily on third-party resources for AKT preparation, with Conclusion: Third-party tools dominate AKT preparation. Age and gender influence resource choices, and AI-based tools are emerging as study aids. To promote equitable access, medical schools should consider providing key third-party resources. Further research should evaluate how resource combinations impact UKMLA performance.
