Impact of a peer-to-peer coaching program on emergency medicine residents: a pre-post intervention study.

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
backgroundThe inherent stress of change, increased responsibilities, and lack of guidance associated with the transition to residency often result in disillusionment, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization ultimately affecting patient care. A possible solution that has been proposed is to implement coaching programs for residents, especially since such programs have been shown to improve physician well-being, communication, and goal setting. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of peer-to-peer coaching on first-year emergency medicine residents.
methodsA baseline pre-intervention survey was administered to 25 first-year emergency medicine residents, assessing emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, resilience, goal setting, perceived impact of coaching, perceived level of support from their peers and residency program, and self-confidence. The coaches were fourth-year emergency medicine residents, conducting the coaching sessions using the GROW (Goal, Reality, Options, Way forward) model. At the end of the six-month coaching period, the survey was re-administered, and pre- and post-intervention results were compared.
resultsThe participants reported more emotional exhaustion (p = 0.062) and depersonalization (p = 0.203) in the post-intervention survey, indicating that coaching possibly did not benefit these domains. No statistically significant change in resilience was measured (p = 0.932). Attitudes toward goal setting may be improved by coaching, though the finding was statistically insignificant (p = 0.089). Responses in the follow-up survey also indicate that perceptions toward the residency program and coaching improved significantly (p = 0.039).
conclusionPeer-to-peer coaching may positively impact residents' professional fulfilment, personal development, peer-to-peer communication, patient communication and more. Developing peer-to-peer coaching programs and continually improving them may contribute to healthier, more effective residents, and potentially improve patient care and outcomes.
