Resident Physician Interactions and Engagement With Written Assessments of Performance.
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 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 AND
objectivesDespite the requirements of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) to provide feedback, assessments are often not meeting the needs of resident learners. The objective of this study was to explore residents' approach to reviewing, interpreting, and incorporating the feedback provided in written faculty assessments.
methodsWe conducted semistructured interviews with 14 family medicine residents. We used line-by-line iterative coding of the transcripts through the constant comparative method to identify themes and reach a consensus.
resultsThe study revealed the following themes: (1) residents value the narrative portion of assessments over numerical ratings, (2) performance reflection and reaction are part of the feedback process, (3) residents had difficulty incorporating formal assessments as many did not provide actionable feedback.
conclusionsResidents reported that narrative feedback gives more insight to performance and leads to actionable changes in behaviors. Programs should consider education for both faculty and residents on the usefulness, importance, and purpose of the ACGME Milestones in order to accurately determine resident competency and provide a summative assessment. Until the purpose of the ACGME Milestones is realized and utilized, it should be noted that the comment portion of evaluations will likely be the focus of the resident's interaction with their assessments.
