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

Professional identity formation is a central goal of medical education, shaping how learners understand the meaning and values of clinical practice. During a national educational event in Qatar, an experienced surgeon shared his personal professional journey with more than 700 students, focusing on uncertainty, failure, mentorship, and resilience rather than technical achievement. This manuscript presents a reflective perspective on that educational encounter rather than a formal empirical study. The narrative prompted open student reflections on fear, belonging, and the realities of a medical career, revealing the strong emotional and educational impact of narrative mentorship. This experience highlights how authentic clinician stories can strengthen professional identity, address the hidden curriculum, and support whole-person development within educational settings. As healthcare continues to advance technologically, intentional integration of narrative mentorship into health professions education remains essential for cultivating reflective and resilient future clinicians.
