Which Filterable ERAS Metrics Predict Success in US Pediatric Residency? A Multisite Cohort Study.
Article in Journal of graduate 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
Background: While United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) scores correlate with performance on subsequent standardized tests, it is not known whether they predict success in residency. Nonetheless, they remain the most used metric to narrow the large applicant pool. Objective: To determine whether several filterable metrics reported by the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) predict success in pediatric residency, as measured by Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Pediatrics Milestone (PM) ratings. Methods: Pediatric residency programs participating in the Association of Pediatric Program Directors (APPD) Longitudinal Educational Assessment Research Network were invited to participate in 2020; 10 of 149 programs (6.7%) provided data on 518 residents. Metrics included type of medical degree, US or non-US medical school, Alpha Omega Alpha and Gold Humanism Honor Society (GHHS) membership, USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK) numerical scores, and Step 2 Clinical Skills first attempt pass/fail status; primary outcome was mean PM ratings across all residency years. Results: GHHS was positively associated with overall PM performance (B=0.15, Conclusions: Among filterable ERAS metrics, GHHS membership showed the strongest association with pediatric residency success, as measured by PM ratings; Step 2 CK had a weaker positive association.
