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
backgroundProfessionalism is a very important aspect of medical practice. Every medical doctor must practice medicine with professionalism. Professionalism among postgraduates (PGs) must be inculcated so that they practice with professionalism in the future. Aims and objectives: To assess perspectives on professionalism among PGs. MATERIALS AND
methodsAn interventional study was conducted among 59 PGs studying at JIIU's Indian Institute of Medical Science and Research, Badnapur, Jalna, in various departments from March 2022 to February 2023. Baseline data were collected using a structured proforma by conducting a Mini Clinical Examination Exercise. An intervention in the form of a two-hour lecture on professionalism was conducted. Post-intervention data were collected and analyzed using appropriate statistical tests.
resultsA total of 59 PG students participated in the study, of whom 30 were first-year junior residents, and 29 were second-year junior residents. Of these, 37 (62.71%) were males, and 22 (37.29%) were females. The mean age of these students was 27.6 years (SD of 4.06 years). The pre-test mean score was highest i.e 4.1[SD 0.4] for domain of Duty, followed by the domains of Clinical Excellence and Responsibility and Accountability. The domain of Altruism showed the lowest mean pretest score of 2.5m[SD 0.5]. The total mean pre-test score of all the domains was 3.27 (SD 0.63), which significantly increased to 4.45 (SD 0.5) in the post-test. DISCUSSION: Imparting knowledge on professionalism ensured improved performance among PG students with respect to all the domains of professionalism. Hence, it is highly essential to acknowledge the need to include teaching and assessing professionalism as an integral part of the medical curriculum and to implement it practically.
conclusionThis study concluded that, teaching attributes of professionalism among medical students can significantly alter their professional behaviour.
