Evaluation of Educational Workshops for Family Medicine Residents Using the Kirkpatrick Framework.
Article in Advances in medical education and practice, 2021. 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesPracticing independently in an ambulatory care setting demands mastering the knowledge and skills of commonly performed minor procedures. Educational hands-on activities are one way to ensure competent family medicine practitioners. This study aims to evaluate a minor procedure workshop for family medicine trainees using the Kirkpatrick model for short- and long-term workshop effectiveness and to identify facilitators and obstacles faced by the trainees during their practices to gain procedural skills.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in four-time intervals: during the workshop (pre- and post-workshop), 12 weeks after the workshop to evaluate the short-term effectiveness and change of behavior, and 12 months after the workshop to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of the workshop. Statistical Package for Social Sciences 22 was used for data analysis.
resultsForty postgraduate trainees (R1-R4) attended the workshop and participated in the survey. Overall, the workshop was accepted and highly perceived by the trainees, and the pre-workshop confidence level was lower than the post-workshop confidence level. The workshop met the expectation of 100% in obstetric and gynecological procedures workshop with 97% satisfaction rate, followed by dermatology (97.5%, 90%), orthopedic (95%, 87%), general surgery (97.5%, 84%), combined ophthalmology and otorhinolaryngology workshop (82.5%, 74%). At 12 weeks, 24 postgraduate trainees (R2-R4) responded to the survey, and low competency occurred with uncommon procedures in practice. At 12 months only 16 trainees (R3-R4) responded to the survey. Learning effect was higher as post-workshop and varied with the passage of time. Changes in the competency level were noticed, with the number of procedures performed being not statistically significant (P> 0.05).
conclusionPracticing family medicine in an ambulatory health-care setting safely needs the mastering of minor office procedure skills. Evaluating educational workshops is important to ensure effective outcomes and identify the factors of trainees, supervisors, institutions, and patients that influence or hinder the performance of minor procedures in a family medicine clinic.
