Assessment of Agenda Setting With ACGME Milestones in Family Medicine Residents.
Article in Family medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesFamily medicine residents are scored via milestones created by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) on various clinical domains, including communication. Communication involves a resident's ability to set an agenda, but this is rarely taught in formal education. Our study aimed to examine the relationship between ACGME Milestone achievement and ability to set a visit agenda, as measured by direct observation (DO) forms.
methodsWe examined biannual (December, June) ACGME scores for family medicine residents at an academic institution from 2015-2020. Using faculty DO scores, we rated residents on six items corresponding to agenda setting. We used Spearman and Pearson correlations and two-sample paired t tests to analyze results.
resultsWe analyzed a total of 246 ACGME scores and 215 DO forms. For first-year residents, we found significant, positive associations between agenda-setting and the total Milestone score (r[190]=.15, P=.034) in December, and in individual (r[190]=.17, P=.020) and total communication scores (r[186]=.16, P=.031), in June. However, for first-year residents, we found no significant correlations with communication scores in December or in the total milestone scores in June. We found significant progression for consecutive years in both communication milestones (t=-15.06, P<0.001) and agenda setting (t=-12.26, P<.001).
conclusionsThe significant associations found in agenda setting with both ACGME total communication and Milestone scores for first-year residents only, suggests that agenda setting may be fundamental in early resident education.
