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
purposeThis study aims to investigate final-year medical students' perceptions regarding the significance of different managerial roles in fulfilling physician leaders' work. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: In 2020, an electronic questionnaire was distributed to all final-year medical students at the University of Oulu, Finland. A quantitative analysis of managerial roles, based on Mintzberg's model, utilized statements rated on a five-point Likert scale. Statistical assessments examined differences in role importance relative to students' age, gender, and educational background. The free-text responses underwent qualitative deductive content analysis and quantification.
findingsIn total, 110 participants (68%) responded. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses underscored the high importance of different managerial roles in leadership work. Female respondents attributed greater importance to the monitoring role (mean Likert scale score of 4.6 vs. 4.1, PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: This study underscores the necessity for physicians to embody different managerial roles, emphasizing the need for comprehensive leadership education to manage operations and lead subordinates. The heightened importance assigned to the monitoring role by female students is significant, considering the increasing number of female physicians. Mintzberg's framework could offer an additional tool for leadership education in medical curricula. ORIGINALITY/VALUE: This study marks the first exploration of final-year medical students' perspectives on the importance of managerial roles in the physician leaders' work through Mintzberg's model.
