A Standardized Individual Learning Plan for Graduate Medical Education: A Modified Delphi Approach.
Article in Journal of graduate 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
Background: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requires residency programs to support residents in developing individualized learning plans (ILPs) to promote self-reflection and continuous improvement. However, there is no standardized ILP template available for programs and residents to use, making implementation and evaluation across programs variable and time-consuming. Objective: To develop a consensus-based ILP template for use in graduate medical education. Methods: A modified Delphi process was performed between February 2022 and May 2023 to create consensus on essential components of an ILP. A literature review informed panelist recruitment and item generation. A panel of 14 experts in ILPs from several specialties and disciplines in the United States and Canada participated in 3 rounds of surveys. Consensus was defined as more than 80% agreement. Results: Fourteen of 28 invited experts (50% response rate) agreed to participate in our study. All panelists completed Round 1, 93% (13 of 14) completed Round 2, and 100% (14 of 14) completed Round 3. Panelists identified key outcomes for ILPs, including self-reflection, needs identification, goal setting, and progress tracking. Key ILP content included long-term planning, feedback and assessment, strengths and areas for growth, personal and career goals, and structured goal planning. Expert recommendations were used to refine the template for clarity and usability. All panelists endorsed the final ILP template as ready for dissemination. Conclusions: This modified Delphi study of ILP researchers and educators identified consensus-based recommendations for content for an ILP designed to be implemented in any graduate medical education specialty.
