Improving sleep medicine education among health professions trainees.

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
STUDY
objectivesDespite increasing recognition of its importance, sleep medicine education remains limited during medical training. We sought to assess the baseline knowledge of a group of health professions trainees and to determine whether an educational sleep medicine "boot camp" led to improvement in sleep medicine knowledge.
methodsParticipants attended a 2-day introduction to sleep medicine course designed for new sleep medicine fellows in July 2017 and 2018. Participants completed 2 validated sleep knowledge questionnaires (The Assessment of Sleep Knowledge in Medical Education and The Dartmouth Sleep Knowledge and Attitude Survey) prior to and at the conclusion of the course.
resultsA total of 21 health professions trainees including 14 sleep medicine fellows completed both presurveys and postsurveys. Baseline Assessment of Sleep Knowledge in Medical Education Survey score was 21.4 ± 3.4 out of 30 (71.4% ± 11.4%) and baseline Dartmouth Sleep Knowledge and Attitude Survey score was 16.1 ± 2.4 out of 24 (67.3% ± 9.9%). There was no difference in baseline scores between sleep medicine fellows and other health professions trainees. There was a statistically significant improvement in the Assessment of Sleep Knowledge in Medical Education Survey (2.9 ± 2.1 points,
conclusionsOur findings suggest that baseline sleep medicine knowledge is higher than previously reported among health professions trainees. An educational sleep medicine boot camp improved knowledge even in a group of learners with high baseline knowledge and interest in sleep medicine, including new sleep medicine fellows.
