Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 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: Mentor-mentee programs in medical colleges offer vital support for undergraduate students' academic, professional, and personal growth. In the demanding world of medical education, they provide structured guidance to navigate complex curricula, clinical training, and career planning. Method: This study, conducted at Sheikh Bhikhari Medical College (SBMC) in Hazaribag, Jharkhand, from February to July 2025, evaluates the perceptions and attitudes of undergraduate medical students toward the mentor-mentee program. The study involved 248 MBBS students from Phases I, II, and III, selected via simple random sampling. Result: A significant majority (76.9%) agreed or strongly agreed that the program supports personal development, while 74.6% believed it enhances academic performance. Additionally, 79.1% valued mentors' guidance in navigating medical college challenges, and 71.7% recognized the program's role in aiding career decisions. However, attitudes toward the program were moderately positive, with only 55.2% feeling comfortable approaching mentors and 48.6% actively seeking engagement, indicating room for improvement in fostering proactive participation. Challenges included time constraints (34.3%), unclear guidelines (32.1%), and mentor unavailability (19.4%). Students suggested regular meetings, better mentor access, and matching by shared interests. Conclusion: Mentor-mentee program is useful for personal, academic, and career growth, but limited interaction, time constraints, and unclear guidelines hinder effectiveness, requiring structured meetings, better accessibility, improved matching, and further research to enhance impact.
