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

backgroundFeedback in residency is a necessity for progression toward clinical competency and is included in The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) milestones as an essential component for accreditation. PURPOSE: Our study elucidates perceptions of feedback of first-year residents and aims to identify how these perceptions change after education on building expertise through deliberate practice.

methodsFirst-year internal medicine and neurology residents of a mid-sized university-affiliated residency program answered a five-question 5-point unipolar response scale questionnaire regarding feedback perceptions before and after attending a workshop about building expertise through effective feedback during residency orientation. Related-Samples Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was applied for comparing pre- versus post-questionnaire data.

resultsOf 31 first-year residents, 29 completed the pre-questionnaire for a completion rate of 93.5%, while 24 of 31 completed the post-questionnaire for a completion rate of 77.4%. Of the five questions, three improved when comparing pre and post responses to, including the questions on confidence in the ability to procure feedback (p = <0.001), the effort put into procuring feedback (p = 0.001), and frequency of seeking feedback (p = 0.002). Interest in receiving feedback and the importance of feedback remained unchanged after workshop attendance.

conclusionResidents should be educated on building expertise through deliberate practice and how to obtain high-quality feedback, given the emphasis and essentiality of feedback within the milestone assessment system and the core competencies of ACGME. In our study, education on these topics led to significant improvement in resident perceptions of confidence in the ability to procure feedback, effort put into procuring feedback, and frequency at which feedback would be sought.
