Insights for New and Developing Rural Family Medicine Residency Programs.
Article in Family medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeRural family medicine residency programs (RFMRPs) encounter unique hardships that threaten their sustainability and efficacy despite their recent success at addressing the rural physician shortage. The aim of this study was to explore strategies employed by RFMRP program directors from across the United States to strengthen their programs in the context of evolving paradigms in graduate medical education (GME).
methodsThe authors conducted a qualitative semistructured telephone interview with 19 program directors of RFMRPs in June and July of 2020. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using thematic content analysis.
findingsTwo major themes emerged: (1) community enrichment and (2) the ability to evolve to meet demands. Community enrichment had five subthemes: evaluate local resources, prioritize community buy-in, design a robust continuity clinic, identify or cultivate a local physician champion, and support faculty and physician preceptors. Programs evolving to meet demands had four subthemes: frequently revisit program mission to align with scope of family medicine, redefine expectations in medical education, integrate longitudinal experiences, and implement innovation in curriculum design.
conclusionsCommunity enrichment and programs' ability to evolve to meet demands are important attributes of a successful RFMRP. Our findings highlight strategies utilized by RFMRPs to help meet the needs of the changing landscape of rural family medicine GME and help identify best practices for developing RFMRPs.
