A Novel, Web-Based Quality Improvement Platform to Address ACGME CLER Requirements.
Article in Journal of graduate medical education, 2020. 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
backgroundIn 2014, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) formally mandated trainee (resident and fellow) participation in health care quality improvement (QI) projects as one of the Clinical Learning Environment Review (CLER) Pathways to Excellence. Subsequent national reviews showed large variations in how QI education is conducted, as well as a significant mismatch between educational and organizational goals.
objectiveWe developed a web-based platform to engage trainees in QI that better aligned with best practice methodology and matched identified institutional priorities.
methodsA needs assessment survey was distributed to trainees to understand the obstacles to compliance with ACGME QI requirements. Based on the results, a web-based clearinghouse, called the QI Platform, was developed and launched in July 2016, and utilization was analyzed in February 2019.
resultsA total of 196 of 440 needs assessment surveys (45%) were completed. Themes extracted from surveys to identify barriers in QI participation included difficulties designing projects, lack of mentorship or expert support, and difficulty engaging an interprofessional team. Over 2.5 years, 151 projects were registered on the platform. Of these, 17 (11%) were collaborative entries. At the time of analysis, 166 of 437 trainees (38%) were listed as participants in active QI projects. A total of 22 projects were archived as complete, and 68 incomplete projects were reassigned to the "Ideas" section as works in progress after lead trainee graduation.
conclusionsAn institutional QI Platform clearinghouse for GME QI projects was feasible to develop and maintain, and it appeared acceptable to most GME programs and trainees for recording and tracking QI projects, and linking these to hospital QI priorities.
