Formal Career Goal Advising Program for Otolaryngology, the UNC Experience.
Article in OTO open. 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
Career goal advising (CGA) is critical to medical student success in the increasingly competitive field of otolaryngology. Otolaryngology is underrepresented in the preclinical curriculum; therefore, early exposure and guidance are limited. At the University of North Carolina (UNC), a formal CGA program was created in 2018 to provide direct access to faculty mentorship. Advisors provide early exposure to otolaryngology, advise the interest group, and meet regularly with students throughout medical school training. All participating students were surveyed. Since inception, the match rate of students applying to otolaryngology from UNC has been 95%. The majority of these students matched at top 25 residency programs. Students reported high satisfaction with access, responsiveness to concerns, preparedness for the match, and confidence in specialty choice. Our program offers a sustainable response to the challenge of exposure and competitiveness in otolaryngology and may provide a template for medical schools to improve faculty mentorship within otolaryngology.
