Potential impact of a bedside procedure service on training procedurally competent hospitalists in a community-based residency program.
Article in Journal of community hospital internal medicine perspectives, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundThe Society of Hospital Medicine has delineated procedures as one of the core competencies for hospitalists. Little is known about whether exposure to a medical procedure service (MPS) impacts the procedural certification rate in internal medicine trainees in a community hospital training program.
objectiveTo determine whether or not exposure to an MPS would impact both the number of procedures performed and the rate of resultant certifications in a community hospital internal medicine training program.
designRetrospective review.
methodsFive cohorts of resident physicians and their procedure data were analyzed comparing months where residents were unexposed to the intervention (pre-MPS) to months where residents were exposed to the intervention (post-MPS). We calculated the average number of procedures performed per month for pre- versus post-MPS periods. For procedural certification, we compared two proportions: the number of certifications over the number of 6-month pre-MPS periods and the number of certifications over the number of 6-month post-MPS periods. SETTING/SUBJECTS: The study was conducted at a community-based academic medical center. Subjects included all internal medicine residents.
resultsWe found a statistically significant difference between the groups, with pre-MPS groups performing 4.3 procedures per month compared with post-MPS groups performing 6.7 procedures per month (p=0.0010). For certification rates, we found statistically significant differences in several categories - overall, paracentesis, femoral central lines, and jugular central lines.
conclusionsThis study demonstrated that resident exposure to an MPS statistically significantly increased the total number of procedures performed. This study also showed that overall certification rates were statistically significantly different between the pre- and post-MPS groups for several procedures.
