Teaching conflict management to medical students: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC medical education, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundConflict is an inevitable aspect of healthcare team collaboration. Effective conflict management training can improve the performance of healthcare teams. This study aimed to investigate the effect of conflict management education based on the Fogg model on the attitude of medical students toward conflict management.
methodThis randomized controlled trial was conducted at Tehran University of Medical Sciences in 2022-2023. Freshman medical students volunteered to participate in this study. Then, they were randomly divided into intervention (12 groups of 4 people, n = 48) and control (12 groups of 4 people, n = 48) groups. The intervention groups received Fogg model-based education, and the control groups were taught using a conventional method. Student attitudes toward conflict management were evaluated using the Conflict Management Attitude questionnaire.
resultsThe intervention group showed significantly higher mean total attitude scores and scores for subscales 2 and 3 in the post-test compared to the control group (P = 0.003, P = 0.001, and P = 0.001, respectively). When the pre-test was included as a covariate, ANCOVA results showed a significant increase in the total attitude score of students (P = 0.010) as well as in the scores for subscales 2 and 3 following the educational intervention (P = 0.004, and P = 0.003, respectively).
conclusionThis study showed that intervention in conflict management using the Fogg model can improve the attitude of medical students toward conflict management. This approach can help medical educators use creative, model-based methods in teaching conflict management to prepare students to work in healthcare teams.
