Efficacy of Peer-to-Peer Education for Emergency Medicine Resident Financial Literacy: Curriculum Development Study.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundEarly career physicians are under enormous stress from rigorous academic demands and financial insecurity due to increasingly large loan burdens and stagnant income. There are no institutionally required training programs to educate professionals on financial pitfalls or strategies for overcoming these burdens. Fiscal ignorance leaves them in a vulnerable position to be taken advantage of often, at great personal cost.
methodsUsing a cross-sectional, convenience sample of emergency medicine residents at a single center, we evaluated the benefit of a six-month curriculum on financial education. Focusing on topics that were most pertinent early in medical careers, we assessed the utility of a six-lecture series totaling three hours of education on fundamental financial literacy. Lectures were given by a single educator with no formal financial background in the following areas: general principles, student loans, retirement accounts, basic taxes, real estate, and insurance.
resultsUsing pre-test and post-test information on 55 residents, financial literacy, as assessed by a 24-question multiple-choice survey, increased from 50% to 62% (p=<.001). Subgroup analysis was also performed within each financial category as well as by postgraduate year (PGY) of training. Raw data of individual percentages achieving specific financial milestones demonstrated an objective increase in the number of residents contributing to retirement accounts, creating an emergency fund, and establishing student loan repayment plans after the curriculum.
conclusionsPrograms can institute sufficient financial literacy education for trainees that covers financial foundations. These programs can be taught without financial professional expertise or long hours of didactics.
