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

Transition To Residency (TTR) courses prepare U.S. medical school graduates for residency. Program director assessments of post-graduate year-1 (PGY-1s) readiness for residency ("did not meet [DNM]" vs. "met/exceeded" expectations) were stratified by medical school TTR course presence. Of 9,214 PGY-1s graduating in 2023-2024 from medical schools that completed the TTR Educators survey and participated in the Association of American Medical College Resident Readiness Survey, 2.4% (221/9,214) DNM expectations. Adjusting for specialty, PGY-1s from schools with (vs. without) TTR courses had lower odds of "DNM" expectations (odds ratio 0.62; 95% confidence interval 0.40-0.97). TTR courses may support resident readiness across specialties.
