Attainment of medical student learning outcomes following general practice specialty trainee supervision: a pilot study.
Article in BJGP open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundInnovative training approaches are needed to address the lack of capacity in primary care for undergraduate medical student clinical placements. Near peer teaching (NPT) by general practice specialty trainees (GPSTs) is one possible solution.
aimTo compare the attainment of intended learning outcomes (ILOs) for students taught by GPSTs and qualified GPs. DESIGN &
settingQuantitative pilot study of medical students undertaking clinical training in general practice at the University of Nottingham.
methodYear 3 GPSTs were trained to supervise first-year graduate-entry medical students undertaking 6 half-day GP visits (2022-2023). Using Likert-scale post-training questionnaires, self-reported attainment of ILOs was compared for supervision provided to students by GPSTs and GPs. Secondary outcomes included student, GPST, and GP views about NPT.
resultsOf 112 medical students, seven were supervised by GPSTs and 105 by GPs. In total, 101 students responded (seven [100%] from GPST supervision; 94 [90%] from GP supervision). There was no significant difference between groups in attainment of seven ILOs with significantly greater attainment for students supervised by GPSTs for receiving feedback (
conclusionAttainment of ILOs during undergraduate GP placements was at least equivalent when students were supervised by GPSTs compared with GPs. GPSTs are an important group for building supervisory capacity for undergraduate education and this study adds confidence in enabling GPST supervision of undergraduates.
