Script or style? Analysis of the relationship between teaching scripts and supervision style.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeClinical teachers use both clinical and teaching scripts when supervising students. The aims of the study was: 1) to explore how teaching scripts are operationalized during supervision of clinical reasoning, and 2) to evaluate whether teaching scripts and their activation vary according to clinical teachers' level of teaching experience. MATERIALS AND
methodsA purposeful sample of 20 clinical teachers from different disciplines and levels of teaching experiences were invited to conduct a videotaped clinical supervision with a simulated resident involving a patient presenting with subacute lower abdominal pain. The session was followed by a semi-structured and a stimulated recall interview. Both were transcribed and analysed using deductive and inductive approaches.
resultsTeaching scripts were operationalized into four clear supervision styles along two axes: the richness of the pedagogical dimension of teaching scripts and the flexibility of teaching approaches. Participants' working context, prior clinical experience, teaching training opportunities and reflective skills seemed to determine these teaching styles. However, they did not vary according to the level of teaching experience.
conclusionThe results of this study shed light on how faculty development programs can guide and enhance clinical teachers' supervision skills based on the analysis of their existing teaching scripts and supervision styles.
