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

Background and objectives: Faculty development plays a pivotal role in enhancing teaching, research, educational, and clinical leadership, as well as in fostering career and professional development, which helps improve medical education. Despite its importance, engagement in faculty development programs is roughly variable among educators. This study aimed to identify and explain the factors influencing the participation of basic and clinical science faculty members in an online medical education faculty development course at medical universities. Methods: This study was conducted in Iran between July 2022 and May 2023. Data were collected through an online qualitative survey and semi-structured telephone interviews with faculty members who were actively involved in or graduated from a virtual master's program in medical education. An online qualitative survey was first conducted with 86 participants in the faculty development program to obtain a wide understanding of their experiences. Subsequently, follow-up telephone interviews were conducted with faculty members who were engaged in the program to gain richer and deeper information, and this continued until data saturation was achieved ( Results: Five major themes emerged: (1) professional and occupational factors, highlighting the importance of career advancement and job requirements; (2) individual factors, focusing on intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy; (3) social factors, reflecting the influence of peer support and social status; (4) educational and academic factors, emphasizing the necessity of innovative teaching methods; and (5) managerial/leadership and organizational factors, addressing the significance of institutional support and leadership in promoting development. Conclusion: This research provides valuable insights into the factors affecting faculty participation in development programs. By understanding these dynamics, educational institutions can consider initiatives (such as material and immaterial incentives, flexibility in program delivery, balancing teaching, research, and clinical service delivery, and promoting organizational culture and support) that enhance faculty engagement.
