Training academic staff for effective feedback in workplace-based assessment: a study in Bhutan.
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
introductionThe feedback plays a critical role in competency-based education in both undergraduate and Postgraduate medical education. The study explores the impact of a faculty development program on feedback practices of residents and faculty of ENT and ER medicine at Gyalpo University of Medical Sciences of Bhutan (KGUMSB).
methodsThis mixed method study was conducted in two departments with 14 faculty members participating in the study. The questionnaire was used to obtain the perception of feedback before and after a Faculty Development Training (FDT) on good feedback practices. Student "t" test was used to compare the feedback perception at day 0 and 6 months and the responses were qualitatively analyzed using thematic analysis.
results(a) Quantitative: The confidence of faculty to provide feedback improved significantly after FDT as compared to before FDT and it persisted in the same for 6 months (p-value 0.041 and p-value 0.027 respectively). The overall perception of feedback as a tool significantly changed positively after FDT and at 6 months (p-value p-value = 0.000). (b) Qualitative: Two thematic areas of process and teaching-learning were analyzed. Faculty showed improved and more focused feedback after training, but signs of decline by 6 months highlighted the need for refresher training. Feedback initially improved for residents, as it became more constructive and useful, though by 6 months, it showed potential for further refinement and consistency. 55 -
conclusionsThe findings from this study are suggestive that feedback may have excellent potential as a tool for enhanced student learning in WPBA encounters.
