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: Feedback conversations between preceptors and residents usually occur in closed settings. Little is known about how preceptors address the challenges posed by residents with different skill sets, performance levels, and personal contexts. Objective: This study explored the challenges that preceptors experienced and approaches taken in adapting feedback conversations to individual residents. Methods: In 2015, 18 preceptors participated in feedback simulations portraying residents with variations in skill, insight, confidence, and distress, followed by debriefing of the feedback conversation with a facilitator. These interactions were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic and framework analysis. Results: The preceptors encountered common challenges with feedback conversations, including uncertainty in how to individualize feedback to residents and how to navigate tensions between resident- and preceptor-identified goals. Preceptors questioned their ability to enhance skills for Conclusions: Examining the feedback challenges preceptors encounter and the approaches taken to adapt feedback to individual residents can provide insight into how preceptors meet the challenges of competency-based medical education, in which frequent, focused feedback is essential for residents to achieve educational milestones and entrustable professional activity expectations.
