Utilizing a Referral-Based Procedure Clinic Rotation in Family Medicine Residency.

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
Introduction: Performing clinical procedures is an essential component of family medicine (FM) residency training. A referral-based procedure clinic was established at our institution in 2014, and a yearly 2-week rotation was established for residents. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of a procedure clinic rotation on the numbers of procedures performed during residency training. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review on graduating FM residents from 2009 to 2019. Data collected include type and number of procedures performed each postgraduate year. We analyzed data as mean number of procedures per resident per year. We conducted statistical comparison with Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney two-sample rank-sum tests. Results: Residents who participated in the procedure clinic rotation performed significantly more dermatologic procedures per year, joint and soft tissue injections and intrauterine device (IUD) insertions and removals, but did not perform significantly more circumcisions, endometrial biopsies, incision and drainages, subdermal contraceptive implant procedures, toenail removals, or vasectomies. Conclusion: The establishment of a 2-week procedure clinic rotation for FM residents was associated with a significant increase in dermatologic procedures, joint and soft tissue injections, and IUD procedures. Further research can explore the impact of this rotation on procedural competency and confidence.
