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

backgroundOutpatient faculty face persistent workplace teaching challenges such as high patient volume and limited visit time. Traditional faculty development rarely provides individualized strategies for improving teaching in the clinical workplace.

aimTo implement an individualized faculty development program that uses coaching to help faculty identify an outpatient teaching challenge and develop a feasible solution.

settingA large academic medical center in Boston, Massachusetts.

participantsTwenty-four outpatient teaching faculty from six departments completed the program between September 2021 and May 2022. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Faculty participated in a 60-min individualized coaching session. Participants reflected on their outpatient teaching and clinic workflow, identified a priority teaching challenge, and designed a small, feasible solution (a "micro-innovation"). The program emphasized faculty-created workplace-specific solutions. PROGRAM EVALUATION: Evaluation included a 6-month survey (75% response, 18/24), a 9-month focus group, and a 3-year follow-up survey (75% response, 15/20). At 6 months, all respondents (18/18) reported implementing their micro-innovation and perceived a positive impact on student clinics. At 3 years, 53% of respondents (8/15) continued using their micro-innovation. Faculty valued the individualized format for its relevance to their clinic context. DISCUSSION: An individualized coaching program can support outpatient educators in addressing teaching challenges through small, sustainable changes.
