Perspectives of family medicine residents in Jeddah on leadership training: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of family & community medicine. 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
backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the perceptions of family medicine (FM) residents in Jeddah on leadership training to provide guidance to the development of the leadership training curriculum. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 119 residents of the Family Medicine Saudi Board Program in Jeddah during January to October 2024. Data were collected using a self-administered online questionnaire consisting of three parts: assessment of the resident's agreement with leadership ideals, evaluation of exposure to leadership domains, and identification of leadership training opportunities during residency. The link of the questionnaire was shared with the residents through WhatsApp. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for categorical variables, while medians and interquartile ranges (IQRs) were used for ordinal data. Mann- Whitney U test was used to compare differences between two independent groups (age and gender) and Kruskal-Wallis test was utilized for comparisons involving more than two groups (year of residency and training site).
resultsMajority of the family medicine residents in Jeddah supported the integration of leadership training into residency (median = 6, interquartile range [IQR] = 2), highlighting importance of clinical and community leadership roles (median = 7, IQR = 2). Female residents demonstrated a significantly higher appreciation for leadership training than males (P = 0.008). Exposure to leadership domains varied, with self-awareness and administration most emphasized, while professionalism and character development were less prominent. Preferred training formats included workshops (80.7%) and leadership mentors (71.4%), which underscored the demand for practical and guided approaches.
conclusionThe findings highlight a strong demand by FM residents for a structured leadership training, with particular emphasis on practical and mentorship-based approaches. Incorporating leadership development into residency programs is essential to equip future family physicians with the skills necessary for effective roles in clinical and community leadership.
