---|---|---|---|
Resident impact on efficiency | Most (6/7) studies showed a small to moderate decrease in efficiency. | 7 | LOW ⊕⊕00 (due to serious risk of bias and indirectness) |
Student impact on efficiency | Most (4/5) studies showed a small decrease in efficiency. | 5 | LOW ⊕⊕00 (due to serious risk of bias and indirectness) |
Resident impact on productivity | All 3 studies showed an increase in productivity, centering around a medium effect size. | 3 | LOW ⊕⊕00 (due to serious risk of bias and moderate indirectness) |
Student impact on productivity | Both studies showed no association with productivity. | 2 | LOW ⊕⊕00 (due to moderate risk of bias and severe indirectness) |
