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
Importance: Gender-based disparities in clinical academic performance have received growing international attention, yet evidence from the Middle East, including Jordan, remains limited. Objective: To examine gender-based differences in clinical rotation grades, General Secondary School Examination ( Design Setting and Participants: This retrospective cohort study reviewed academic records of 1607 sixth-year medical students (930 females, 677 males) across 5 academic cohorts (2020-2024) at Mutah University in Al-Karak, Jordan. Main Outcomes and Measures: Results: Male and female students did not differ significantly in baseline academic performance as measured by Conclusions and Relevance: Female and male medical students demonstrated broadly comparable overall academic performance, with no significant differences in baseline aptitude or cumulative graduation GPA. However, male students exhibited small but statistically significant advantages of modest magnitude in internal medicine and surgery. These findings suggest that discipline-specific environmental or assessment factors-rather than global differences in academic ability-underlie these variations, highlighting a need for targeted evaluation of rotation-specific practices in regional medical curricula.
