'Maybe we're not past the traditional gender roles then!' Exploring less than full-time training among men in Scotland: a qualitative study.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesA more sustainable work-life balance is desired by trainees, and increasing access to flexibility in training may improve staff morale and retention. Although a number of less than full-time (LTFT) trainees are increasing, only a minority identify as men. This study aimed to explore the perception and experience of LTFT training among postgraduate medical trainees (PMTs) identifying as men in Scotland.
designWe carried out a qualitative study using semistructured interviews with 26 male trainees who had current or previous personal experience of training LTFT in Scotland. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and data was analysed inductively and iteratively using thematic analysis.
resultsOur work identified four main themes: (1)
conclusionsOur study demonstrates the influence of training environment and culture on LTFT applications in Scotland. Multifaceted interventions targeting medical culture, the LTFT application process, workforce planning and communication with trainees are recommended.
