The construction of a psychometric instrument for the educational role enactment of attending physicians in teaching hospitals.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. 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
backgroundAttending physicians exhibit varied patterns in enacting educational roles, but no standardized framework or measurement tools currently exist to evaluate these roles and associated behaviors. This study aimed to create an analytical framework and develop an instrument to measure the educational role enactment of attending physicians through a questionnaire survey and detailed descriptions of educational behaviors.
methodsA 15-item questionnaire was designed based on a literature review to examine the enactment of three educational roles within the role set of attending physicians. Experts assessed its content validity, while feasibility and readability were tested in a pilot study involving 100 attending physicians from seven teaching hospitals and medical centers in Kaohsiung City. In the formal study, purposive sampling from the same institutions yielded 364 valid responses, achieving a response rate of 91%. Data analysis included item analysis, factor analysis, and evaluation of internal consistency reliability.
resultsAll questionnaire items related to the enactment of attending physicians' educational roles as clinical teachers met the retention criteria, including composite reliability (CR) and homogeneity. Factor analysis revealed a three-factor structure with acceptable reliability, representing three educational roles within the role set: "Clinical Teaching," "Supportive Counseling," and "Job Supervision."
conclusionThe Teaching Hospitals Attending Physician Educational Role Enactment Scale is a reliable and comprehensive tool for assessing the educational roles enacted by attending physicians in the teaching hospital. It encompasses a range of educational roles and aligns with diverse teaching behaviors, offering a self-evaluation tool supported by an analytical framework for clinical teaching practices.
