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: Mentoring programs play a vital role in supporting international students' academic and professional transitions. The AGEAP USA Mentoring Program was launched in 2020 to assist a Central American university alumni in the United States by fostering professional relationships, offering guidance for graduate studies and job applications, and promoting leadership development. Given the unique challenges faced by international alumni, this study evaluates the program's effectiveness using a culturally responsive lens. Methods: This qualitative evaluation employed the Outcome Harvesting methodology, which retrospectively identifies changes resulting from interventions. Data were collected through document analysis and semi-structured interviews with 30 participants, including mentors, mentees, and organizers, spanning cohorts from 2020 to 2024. Thematic analysis and triangulation were used to interpret outcomes, supported by memoing and validation meetings with program coordinators. Results: Findings revealed that mentees benefited from professional development, shared experiences, and expanded professional networks. Mentors reported growth in communication, leadership, and empathy, while organizers developed organizational skills and strengthened alumni connections. Challenges included inconsistent mentee engagement, difficulties in matching mentors and mentees, and logistical barriers. Motivations for participation centered on giving back to the community, improving transition experiences, and reinforcing a sense of belonging. Discussion: The program demonstrated strong potential to support international alumni, though structural improvements are needed to enhance engagement and sustainability. Recommendations include refining matching processes, clarifying expectations, and implementing centralized tools for coordination and training.
