Leadership Skills Training in Physicians: Comparison to a Control Group.
Article in Journal of healthcare leadership, 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: While the impact of physician leadership training has been demonstrated through descriptive studies, work comparing such programs to control groups of self-directed or on-the-job leadership training has proven challenging to implement. Methods: We designed a comparative study, using pre-and post-test methodology, to assess change in leadership skill level and skill use. We compared 2 groups of OBGYN physicians including individuals who had completed an annually offered Intentional Leadership Training (ILT) program as compared to those completing self-directed or on-the-job leadership training (SD-OJT). ILT program participants completed self-assessment evaluations 6 months after ILT course completion, reflecting on their leadership development on 11 leadership competencies. The SD-OJT group, recruited from a convenience sample of OBGYN educators participating in an annual OBGYN educators' conference (2020), reflected on whether they had experienced on-the-job or self-directed leadership development over the previous 5 years. If they responded affirmatively, they reflected on leadership skill level and skill use on the same 11 leadership competencies before and after their training. Results: For the ILT group completing the annual course from 2013 to 2019, statistically significant improvement in both leadership skill level and skill use was noted for all 121 participants across all 11 competencies. For the SD-OTJ group (2020), no statistically significant change in skill level or use was noted for any of the 11 competencies. Conclusion: While self-directed or on-the-job leadership training experiences can offer leadership development opportunities, significantly improved leadership skill level and skill use were seen only in the ILT group studied for the 11 leadership competencies assessed.
