Ask the Parent: Developing a Pediatric Feedback Form for Medical Learners.
Article in Journal of medical education and curricular development. 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
backgroundPatient-centered medicine prioritizes patients' perspective to actively involve them in their care. Medical education and assessments must reflect this approach. Current patient feedback forms for medical learners are designed for the adult patient and are thus not suited for pediatrics. We aimed to determine if parents/caregivers and simulated patients (SPs) are willing to provide feedback to medical learners and if learners would be receptive to this feedback. We then identified which specific feedback caregivers, SPs, and learners consider most important.
methodsREDCap surveys were emailed to caregivers whose child had been seen at Child and Youth Services in Regina, Saskatchewan, from 2020 to June 2023, and to University of Saskatchewan (USask) SPs. Another survey was sent to USask medical students and family medicine and pediatric residents. Surveys asked what specific feedback each group would most prefer to give (caregivers/SPs) or receive (learners) using a Likert scale to rate importance. Descriptive statistics were computed using R software. The highest-ranked options were combined to form a single questionnaire to be given following a clinical encounter.
resultsAll three groups agree that medical learners should receive feedback from sources beyond physicians alone (caregivers: 73.6%, SPs: 89.5%, and learners: 88.9%). The five most highly rated areas for feedback were "explains things clearly," "involves me in the decisions about the medical plans (for my child)," "addresses my concerns and takes them seriously," "listens and gives their full attention," and "did or said anything that made me (or my child) uncomfortable."
conclusionsAll three groups overwhelmingly agree that caregivers/patients should provide feedback on learners' clinical skills, confirming the utility of a pediatric feedback form. The most important areas of feedback identified were consolidated into a user-friendly feedback form consisting of five questions with a Likert-scale rating plus a section for free written narrative feedback.
