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

contextThere currently is no standard method for teaching Quality Improvement/Patient Safety (QIPS) content to prepare resident physicians planning QIPS projects. As part of the 2015-2016 MSU Statewide Campus System

methodsAfter institutional review board project approval was obtained, the first two authors evaluated both the pre and post-curriculum confidence survey scores of enrolled EM residents during May, 2016 as part of their Te4Q program participation.

resultsResidents completed a 15-item QIPS confidence survey before and after completing the QIPS curriculum. The mean pre-curriculum score was 3.00 (SD 1.53) on a scale from 0 to 10, indicating that the average sample respondent felt a lower level of comfort concerning their ability to design and conduct a prospective QIPS project. The mean post-curriculum confidence score from residents increased to 6.71 (SD 1.25) on a 0 to 10 scale, over double an increase from the pre-workshop score on this item. Using a series of non-parametric Wilcoxon Matched Pairs Signed Rank Test procedures suitable for smaller samples, statistically significant increases in pre- to post-curriculum differences were shown for composite confidence scores (Z = 2.207,

conclusionsThese initial results certainly indicate that a structured ongoing QIPS curriculum may have the potential to improve EM residents' confidence levels to design and implement QIPS projects with faculty. The impact of these types of curricula for EM and other types of residents needs to be more rigorously examined in more tightly controlled GME settings with larger samples to gauge what types of resident learners will more likely benefit from such educational offerings across the nation.
