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

Background: The rural population in India faces significant challenges in accessing quality healthcare. Family Adoption Program (FAP) not only provides an experiential learning to medical students but also brings health services closer to the community. The objective of the study was to assess the perceptions of undergraduate medical students regarding FAP. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 431 medical students were assessed on their perception regarding FAP using a semi-structured questionnaire. Independent Results: The mean age of the study participants was 20.2 ± 3.4 years. A higher proportion ( Conclusion: Although students perceived FAP as a useful initiative for community engagement and experiential exposure, perceptions regarding its educational impact were predominantly neutral to negative, reflecting a limited educational impact.
