Impact of curriculum reform and mentorship on career willingness among undergraduate psychiatry students: a mediation analysis.
Article in BMC medical education, 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
backgroundThe objective of this study was to investigate the satisfaction levels of undergraduate students majoring in psychiatric medicine at Chongqing Medical University. Additionally, it aimed to examine the differences in satisfaction among students of different grades to assess the impact of curriculum reforms implemented since 2017.
methodsA self-designed questionnaire, validated by the Delphi method (CVI = 0.90), was utilized to survey undergraduate students from the 2016 to 2019 grades. A comparative analysis was conducted between the pre-reform cohort (2016 grade) and post-reform cohorts (2017-2019 grades). Multivariate logistic regression and mediation analysis were employed to identify factors associated with career intentions.
resultsA total of 284 valid questionnaires were collected. The overall satisfaction of students in the 2017-2019 cohorts was significantly higher than that of the 2016 cohort (P < 0.001). The post-reform cohorts showed significantly higher satisfaction with mentorship (P = 0.004) and clinical practice (P = 0.003). Multivariate analysis indicated that the curriculum reform was independently associated with willingness to pursue a career in psychiatry (OR = 2.28). Mediation analysis suggested that improved satisfaction with mentorship partially accounted for the association between the reform and career intentions.
conclusionThe curriculum reform and mentorship appear to have strengthened professional education, enhanced student satisfaction, and were associated with greater willingness to pursue psychiatric careers.
