1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Volunteer medical faculty with variable teaching experience often facilitate small groups for medical students. An initiative was designed to provide observation and feedback to pre-clerkship small group facilitators at our medical school, with 147 faculty participants over 2 years. The majority of respondents to a program evaluation survey found the observation moderately (44.7%) to extremely (23.7%) helpful. In total, 64.9% of respondents implemented some feedback into their teaching, and 64.9% felt that the program should be mandatory. Direct observation and feedback provided a well-received addition to the culture of deliberate practice that medical educators hope to foster. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40670-024-02252-0.
