Evaluation of family medicine residents' reflection skills.
Article in BMC medical education, 2024. 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
backgroundWhile reflection skills have been extensively studied in undergraduate medical education, research on the reflection skills of residents remains limited in the Turkish literature. Therefore, a two-phase study was conducted. In the first phase, a methodological study adapted the Groningen Reflection Ability Scale (GRAS) for residents. In the second phase, a cross-sectional study assessed the reflection skills of family medicine (FM) residents using the adapted scale, examining reflection ability scores across gender, seniority, and institution type.
methodsGRAS has been translated into Turkish. Firstly, the Turkish version was administered to 230 residents from various specialties. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was run, Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega coefficients were calculated. Then, the adapted scale was administered to 336 FM residents in Turkey. Skewness and kurtosis coefficients were calculated, and the Shapiro-Wilk test was applied to examine normality. Group comparisons were conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test and the Kruskal-Wallis H test.
resultsIn the first phase, GRAS-TR-pg with 20-item, single-dimension and three-factor structure has been validated for use with Turkish residents. Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega coefficients were found to be sufficient. In the second phase, there were no significant differences in the scores received, based on various variables.
conclusionThis study reveals that the adapted GRAS-TR-pg can serve as a valid and reliable tool to measure the reflective skills of residents in Turkey. No significant differences found based on various variables regarding the reflection skill levels of Turkish FM residents.
