Mind over Matter: Tracking Medical Students' Self-perceptions of Wellness at the USMLE Step 1 Juncture.
Article in Medical science educator, 2025. 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
This study examines medical students' self-reported wellness during the USMLE Step 1 dedicated study period at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. Data from 40 participants revealed significant fluctuations in emotional and physical well-being. Students commonly described feeling "nervous" and "anxious," with fewer positive terms like "connected." After receiving their Step 1 scores, negative descriptors decreased, and positive ones, including "connected," increased. However, as students transitioned to clinical coursework, feelings of isolation and anxiety returned. These findings highlight the ongoing impact of stress and anxiety throughout the study period and into the clinical phase of medical education.
