How Learning Culture Influences the Survivability of an Online Feedback Tool.
Article in Perspectives on medical education, 2026. 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
Introduction: Many online tools and innovations exist to support feedback, but their survivability has not been well-studied. This study explores the influence of learning culture on the adoption, utilization and long-term impact of an online written feedback tool among faculty. The study aims to inform strategies for effective implementation of such tools and guide faculty development within the clinical learning environment. Methods: Utilizing constructivist grounded theory, we conducted semi-structured interviews among ten clinical faculty with supervisory roles and experience in giving medical trainees feedback via an online feedback tool. Using an iterative analytic approach, we identified key propositions to derive an in-depth understanding between learning culture (LC) and the "survivability" of the online feedback tool. Results: Several socio-cultural factors within the LC have affected the survivability of the feedback tool beyond its development and implementation. Firstly, the lack of a support system exacerbated the burden of clinical teachers. Next, the misapprehension about written feedback and low psychological safety undermined the tool adoption. Lastly, the lack of appreciation towards the importance of a strong feedback loop further reduced the tool's survivability. Conclusion: The development and implementation of online tools in health professions education should take into consideration factors influencing the survivability of the tool. The exploration from a socio-cultural perspective has provided insights to ensure that future online feedback tools and interventions actually survive the test of time and the complexities embedded in the clinical learning environment.
