Family physicians' reactions to performance assessment feedback.
Article in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
objectiveTo explore and describe family physicians' personal and professional responses to performance assessment feedback.
designQualitative study using one-on-one semistructured interviews after feedback on performance.
settingFee-for-service family practices in eastern Ontario.
participantsEight physicians out of 25 physicians in the control group of a previous randomized controlled trial who received performance assessment feedback were purposefully selected using maximum variation sampling to represent various levels of performance. Five female physicians (2 part-time and 3 full-time) and 3 male physicians (all full-time) were interviewed. These physicians had practised family medicine for an average of 18.5 years (range 9 to 32 years).
methodSemistructured one-on-one interviews were conducted to determine what physicians thought and felt about their private feedback sessions and to solicit their opinions on performance assessment in general. Information was analyzed using an open coding style and a constant comparative method of analysis. MAIN
findingsTwo major findings were central to the core elements of medical professionalism and perceived accountability. Physicians indicated that the private feedback they received was a valuable and necessary part of medical professionalism; however, they were reluctant to share this feedback with patients. Physicians described various layers of accountability from the most important inner layer, patients, to the least important outer layer, those funding the system.
conclusionPerformance feedback was viewed as important to family physicians for maintaining medical professionalism and accountability.
