Transitioning from medical school to residency: Evaluation of an innovative immersion rotation for PGY-1 paediatric residents.
Article in Paediatrics & child health, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Transition from medical school to residency is stressful due to new responsibilities in patient care.
objectiveTo evaluate a new immersion curriculum on the transition from medical school to paediatric residency and its implications for future use in paediatric education.
methodsIn July 2013, a month-rotation offering one-third of time for clinical rounds and two-thirds of time for formal courses was conducted for postgraduate year 1 residents beginning paediatric residency training. Surveys were administered to residents before and after this rotation about their self-confidence in several paediatrics topics and abilities.
resultsEleven junior residents were enrolled (100% participation rate). Among this cohort, pre- and postintervention confidence surveys showed differences for neonatalogy (P<0.001), respiratory distress (P=0.01) and seizure management skills (P<0.001). Among abilities surveyed, significant differences were noted for medical emergencies (P<0.001) and drug prescriptions (P<0.002). The healthy childcare item was the only topic with decreased self-confidence levels. Overall, 45.5% of participants felt confident and ready to begin clinical rotations in the paediatric program following completion of the rotation.
conclusionFirst year paediatric residents who participated in this new curriculum felt their confidence was enhanced in several areas of paediatrics. These findings supported our program committee members in their decision to pursue this rotation since 2013, and may be generalizable to other programs and institutions.
