Impact of X+Y Scheduling on Pediatric Resident and Faculty Perceptions of Education and Patient Care.
Article in Academic pediatrics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeTraditional half-day per week continuity clinic experiences can lead to fragmented education in both the inpatient and outpatient arenas. Five pediatric residency programs were granted the ability from the ACGME to create X+Y scheduling where residents have continuity clinic in "blocks" rather than half-day per week experiences. The aim of this study is to assess the impact X+Y scheduling has on pediatric resident and faculty perceptions of patient care and other educational experiences.
methodsElectronic surveys were sent to residents and faculty of the participating programs both prior to and 12 months after implementing X+Y scheduling. Survey questions measured resident and faculty perception of continuity clinic schedule satisfaction and the impact of continuity clinic schedules on inpatient and subspecialty rotation experiences using a 5-point Likert Scale. Data were analyzed using z-tests for proportion differences for those answering Agree or Strongly Agree between baseline and post-implementation respondents.
resultsHundred and twenty-six out of 186 residents (68%) responded preimplementation and 120 out of 259 residents (47%) responded post-implementation. 384 faculty members were sent the survey with 51% response pre-implementation and 26% response at 12 months. Statistically significant (P < .05) improvements were noted in resident and faculty perceptions of ability to have continuity with patients and inpatient workflow affected by clinic scheduling.
conclusionsFrom both resident and faculty perspectives, X+Y scheduling may improve several aspects of patient care and education. X+Y scheduling could be considered as a potential option by pediatric residency programs, especially if validated with more objective data.
