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

Current feedback models advocate learner autonomy in seeking, processing, and responding to feedback so that medical students can become feedback-literate. Feedback literacy improves learners' motivation, engagement, and satisfaction, which in turn enhance their competencies. However, there is a lack of an objective method of measuring medical student feedback literacy in the empirical literature. Such an instrument is required to determine the level of feedback literacy amongst medical students and whether they would benefit from an intervention. Therefore, this research protocol addresses the methodology aimed at the development of a comprehensive instrument for medical student feedback literacy, which is divided into three phases, beginning with a systematic review. Available instruments in health profession education will be examined to create an interview protocol to define medical students' feedback literacy from the perspectives of medical students, educators, and patients. A thematic analysis will form the basis for item generation, which will subsequently undergo expert validation and cognitive interviews to establish content validity. Next, we will conduct a national survey to gather evidence of construct validity, internal consistency, hypothesis testing, and test-retest reliability. In the final phase, we will distribute the instrument to other countries in an international survey to assess its cross-cultural validity. This protocol will help develop an instrument that can assist educators in assessing student feedback literacy and evaluating their behavior in terms of managing feedback. Ultimately, educators can identify strengths, and improve communication with students, as well as feedback literacy and the feedback process. In conclusion, this study protocol outlined a systematic, evidence-based methodology to develop a medical student feedback literacy instrument. This study protocol will not only apply to medical and local cultural contexts, but it has the potential for application in other educational disciplines and cross-cultural studies.
