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

introductionEffective leadership is vital for high-quality healthcare. Despite progress in leadership development for junior doctors, studies reflect perceptions that junior doctors feel underprepared for leadership. This study aims to understand medical students' perceptions about barriers to effective leadership training and how to mitigate these.

methodsThis was a mixed-methods study utilising focus group interviews structured using four trigger questions. Qualitative narrative responses underwent quantitative inductive coding applied by two independent coders. Commonly occurring codes underwent thematic analysis to understand underpinning themes.

resultsThirty-one students were interviewed from King's College London (n=24) and St George's, University of London (n=7). Cohen's kappa statistic of inter-rater reliability was 0.73. The priority areas were the equity of teaching, implemented approaches and methods of assessing competency. The study presents a driver diagram summarising findings.

conclusionThis study presents medical students' perceptions about barriers to effective leadership training in current undergraduate curriculum and interventions to mitigate these.
