Key factors impacting morning report learning in emergency residency training: a multicenter qualitative study.
Article in BMC emergency medicine, 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
backgroundMorning reports are essential educational tools in medical training that promote clinical reasoning, communication, and decision-making. However, their impact in emergency medicine (EM) remains unexplored. This study identified factors that enhance or hinder learning in EM morning report sessions in Saudi Arabia.
methodsThis qualitative study was conducted at five major Saudi Board of Emergency Medicine training sites in Riyadh, where standardized morning reports were held at 7:00 AM for an average of 20 min, facilitated by EM residents under consultant supervision. Eligible participants included EM consultants actively supervising morning reports and EM residents mandated to attend and present. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with consultants and focus group discussions with residents. Content analysis was used to thematically identify key dimensions influencing morning report effectiveness.
resultsA total of 47 EM residents and consultants participated. Three primary themes emerged regarding challenges and improvements in morning reports: (1) timing and scheduling – delays, inconsistent session durations, and conflicts with peak patient flow hindered participation; (2) content and teaching methods – overreliance on lecture-based formats, limited diversity, and insufficient interaction reduced engagement; (3) mentorship and engagement – passive participation, inconsistent guidance, and unprepared presenters diminished educational value.
conclusionsThis study highlights the key barriers and enablers in EM morning reports, emphasizing the need for structured scheduling, dynamic teaching methods, and enhanced mentorship. These recommendations can optimize morning reporting sessions, improve EM residency training, and enhance overall patient care.
