1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundMany residency programs have struggled to meaningfully meet the ACGME quality improvement (QI) requirements. Similarly, our residents were receiving limited QI education, and their longitudinal projects were ineffective.

aimCreate an integrated didactic and experiential learning environment that equips residents to become leaders of QI. SETTING AND

participantsInternal medicine (IM) residency program of 45 residents in a large community hospital. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: This curriculum included eight content areas. Games, real-life application, and project celebrations cultivated engagement. Sessions occurred during residents' 2-week outpatient rotations. Project development was standardized. PROGRAM EVALUATION: The QI Knowledge Application Tool-Revised (QIKAT-R) and separate surveys were used before and after the curriculum's implementation to evaluate resident QI knowledge and confidence, respectively. We also tracked QI scholarship and faculty engagement. Mean QIKAT-R scores improved significantly from 7.0 (SD 2.9) at baseline to 16.6 (SD 4.7) post-curriculum (n = 37 pairs, p = 0.043). Residents' adverse event reporting increased from 44% (19/43) at baseline to 90% (28/31) post-curriculum. Seven presentations were accepted for local, regional, and national conferences, compared with one presentation the preceding year. DISCUSSION: A QI curriculum can be successfully integrated in a "4 + 2" program.
