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

backgroundLearning in medical education involves a multitude of practical tasks and skills that are amenable to feedback provision. Though passive feedback is given, there is a consistent gap in feedback provision and its receipt. This study aims to assess provider perspectives on feedback and learner attributes influencing the receipt of feedback in medical educational settings. MATERIALS AND

methodsA parallel mixed methods study was conducted in September 2023 at a tertiary care teaching institute. A convenience sample of 40 medical teachers comprising two faculties per department and 30 students were included. Focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted with students from each academic year for assessing the student-level factors (facilitators and barriers) in the receipt of feedback.

resultsAmong the 40 medical teachers who were interviewed, the majority of 23 (57.5%) were assistant professors and nearly half of them (18; 45.0%) were below the age of 30 years. The majority of the respondents (28; 70.0%) were females, and 34 (85.0%) of them were postgraduates. Most of them (24; 60.0%) had worked for more than 10 years at the institute. It was observed that 80.0% of the respondents had given feedback to their students at some point in their careers. The major barriers for providing feedback were lack of curricular guidelines, fear of affective responses from students, burden of clinical, administrative work, and lack of perceived need by both students and teachers. DESTEP analysis of the student-level factors governing the receipt of feedback shows the effects of institutional ethics and culture, feedback model utilized, and the influence of learner behaviors, motivations, and teacher attributes.

conclusionThe study elucidates mentor- and mentee-level influencers for providing and receiving feedback. Effective teacher-student partnerships along with an optimal skill set are required to recognize the need, opportunities, and processes to provide and seek feedback. Shifting the focus from feedback giving to active feedback seeking would be a step toward creating effective and pragmatic feedback systems.
