Introduction of an academic medical center's point-of-care ultrasound curriculum to internal medicine residents at a community-based teaching hospital.

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
backgroundDespite its proven utility, integration of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) into internal medicine (IM) residency training has been inconsistent. Due to their unique constraints, community-based teaching hospitals may face particular challenges in providing POCUS training to IM residents.
objectivesTo evaluate short-term educational outcomes of an academic center's POCUS curriculum following its adaptation and delivery to IM residents at a community-based teaching hospital.
methodsA needs assessment (NA) regarding POCUS training was distributed to PGY-2 and PGY-3 IM residents at a community-based teaching hospital in 2017. Based on the NA results, a POCUS curriculum from an academic center was modified and a revised course was offered to the same residents. Participants completed cognitive assessments before and after three of the four didactic sessions. Observed placement of an ultrasound-guided peripheral IV before and after the training program comprised the skills assessment.
results17 of 28 (61%) residents completed the NA; eleven participated in the course. Of 33 possible quiz pairs, 15 (45%) were completed. Average quiz scores rose after the first and third sessions. Skills assessment scores increased after course completion.
conclusionAdaptation of POCUS curricula from academic centers may be a feasible instructional strategy for community-based IM residency programs.
