The association between trainee demographic factors and self-reported experience: Analysis of General Medical Council National Training Survey 2014 and 2015 data.
Article in JRSM open, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesTo investigate whether demographic factors are associated with self-reported experience amongst medical trainees in the UK.
designRetrospective analysis of survey data.
settingGeneral Medical Council (UK) National Training Survey data for 2014 and 2015.
participantsA total of 105,549 responses were provided from 68,551 participants when no data were removed. After removing data to preserve participant anonymity, there were 64,278 participants providing 99,076 responses.
main outcome measuresConsidered trainee factors were gender, ethnicity, country of primary medical qualification, grade, post specialty and deanery. Self-reported outcome measures were 'overall satisfaction', 'adequate experience', 'workload', 'clinical supervision', 'educational supervision', and 'access to educational resources'.
resultsThe experience of medical trainees across various indicators is differentially related to gender, ethnicity, country of primary medical qualification, grade, post specialty and deanery.
conclusionsIt is demonstrated here that trainee factors are associated with subjective experience across different indicators. Further work is required to explore the reasons behind this, and how this relates to trainee quality of life, work performance and career progression.
