Enhancing developmental-behavioral pediatric rotations by teaching residents how to evaluate autism in primary care.

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
lay abstractMost physician preparation programs do not provide enough practical experiences in autism-related care. This is especially true for how to assess for and diagnose autism. Without this training, many pediatricians are not well prepared to implement appropriate care for children with autism and their families. We designed a curriculum to improve training for medical residents that involved explicit hands-on training in diagnostic identification and care coordination for toddlers at risk for autism. We collected data to assess whether our enhanced curriculum led to increased comfort level across recommended practice behaviors. Almost all the residents were able to complete the training within their rotation and our surveys indicated significant increases in residents feeling more comfortable identifying symptoms of autism, providing feedback about diagnostic decisions, and effectively connecting families with services. A significant majority of residents considered it appropriate or very appropriate for children to receive a diagnosis solely from a primary care provider. Our results suggest feasibility of the enhanced model, and this project reflects the first step in advancing incorporation of autism training into pediatric residency programs.
