What Do Residents Want From Clinical Supervision in Primary Care Practice? Identifying Desired Behaviors for Outpatient Precepting.
Article in Family medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesFeedback to clinical supervisors of residents (preceptors) is critical to ensure quality teaching. Most feedback tools are based on theoretical models or expert opinion. No research has asked residents their thoughts on teaching practices. Our objective was to identify desired precepting practices by analyzing written feedback provided to preceptors by residents.
methodsThis project was conducted in a family medicine residency training program, analyzing feedback to preceptors from residents collected over 5 years. We used the nonviolent communication format, which identifies a request to a preceptor to continue an existing teaching behavior or change to a new one. The request statements were qualitatively analyzed by coders, aligning them when possible to categories of the Mayo Outpatient Precepting Evaluation Tool. Using content analysis, we coalesced all codes into categories from which we derived behaviorally based desired practices for precepting.
resultsMost (66.49%) of the requests were to continue a teaching behavior. We identified 26 desired practices in the following categories: setting the learning climate (n=5); preprecepting (n=2); preceptor presence (n=1); conveying clinical knowledge (n=4); decision-making (n=5); time management (n=4); and feedback on performance (n=5).
conclusionsWe identified precepting practices that residents desire. Some of these desired behaviors are not reflected in existing preceptor evaluation tools.
