Factors Influencing Interns' Satisfaction with the Internship Training Programme Offered at Saudi Medical Schools.
Article in Sultan Qaboos University medical journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesThis study aimed to assess the perceptions of medical interns with regards to the internship training programme offered at Saudi medical schools and to explore factors influencing their overall satisfaction with this progamme.
methodsThis exploratory study was conducted at four medical schools in Saudi Arabia between July 2017 and June 2018. All medical interns undergoing internship training at the selected medical schools during the 2017-2018 academic year were invited to participate in the survey. A questionnaire covering 10 internship dimensions and including a total of 76 items and one global item was designed to assess the medical interns' satisfaction with the training programme.
resultsA total of 295 interns returned completed questionnaires (response rate: 92%). Overall, the interns' satisfaction with all 10 internship dimensions was high (mean score: ≥3.6). A multiple regression analysis indicated that various factors were significant predictors of medical interns' overall satisfaction with the internship training programme, including orientation, training site services, supervision, relationships with their superiors and hospital activities (
conclusionMedical interns were highly satisfied with the internship training programme offered at Saudi medical schools, with various factors found to significantly influence overall satisfaction. The findings of this study may help policymakers in Saudi Arabia to improve the internship training programme so as to ensure medical interns' overall satisfaction and potentially improve their learning outcomes and clinical training.
