Mastery learning program to teach sleep study scoring.
Article in Journal of clinical sleep medicine : JCSM : official publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
STUDY
objectivesScoring a polysomnogram is an essential skill for sleep medicine trainees to meet Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Sleep Medicine Milestones. Appraisal is based on faculty evaluation rather than objective competency assessment. We developed a computer-based polysomnogram scoring curriculum, utilizing the mastery learning method, then compared achievement of competency using the new curriculum against standard institutional training.
methodsThe scoring program consisted of a pretest assessment, sequential acquisition of knowledge utilizing online modules, a posttest, and competency assessment. Fellows needed to demonstrate mastery of each module before moving ahead. Competency was demonstrating ≥ 90% on interscorer reliability assessment on 5 studies (out of up to 10 attempts). Participating fellows were assigned to Mastery Learning Participants (MLP) or Traditional Learning Participants (TLP) groups and completed the program within the first 1-3 months of training.
resultsOf 87 fellows enrolled in the program, 75 participants completed the program (40 MLP and 35 TLP). Among completers, there was no difference in the proportion that achieved competency (MLP 90.0% vs TLP 97.1%;
conclusionsWe demonstrated similar outcomes utilizing a novel, computer-based modular interactive course compared to traditional methods of teaching polysomnogram scoring. We used a mastery learning paradigm and set specific objective competency levels for this skill. CITATION: Epstein LJ, Plante DT, Rosen IM. Mastery learning program to teach sleep study scoring.
