Piloting a Transition of Care Curriculum at Two Bi-coastal Medicine-Pediatrics Residency Programs.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundLack of consistency in primary care residency training exists in transitions of care (TOC) of adolescents from pediatric to adult medicine, which can lead to conflicting or incomplete training. To fill this gap, we developed a curriculum based on the Got Transition Six Core Elements and piloted it at two bicoastal, academic Medicine-Pediatrics (Med-Peds) residency programs.
objectivesThe goals of this project are to increase resident TOC knowledge, increase transition discussion comfort and skills, and obtain feedback for curriculum improvement.
methodsTwo educational sessions were held at both institutions between 2020-2021. Of 32 potential resident participants, 26 participated in session one and 22 participated in session two. Sessions included a didactic presentation, small group activities, and a guest speaker discussing transitional experience. Electronic pre-session, post-session, and retention surveys evaluated resident knowledge, comfort, and self-reported skills of TOC. A Hybrid Type II design was used with mixed methods to evaluate curriculum effectiveness and implementation.
resultsThe first and second sessions had 81% and 68% attendance, respectively. Eighty-four percent completed the pre-session survey, 65% completed the post-session survey, and 68% completed the retention survey. TOC knowledge increased by 19% overall (p<0.001). First-year residents gained the most knowledge and implementation skills. Residents participating in alternating medicine and pediatric clinics gained more knowledge than those in a combined Med-Peds clinic (p=0.001). Comfort increased for both initiating and continuing TOC discussions after the first session. Knowledge retention was not statistically significant.
conclusionA standardized TOC curriculum can improve resident knowledge and is easily implemented at multiple institutions. Early-in-training residents and those in alternating medicine and pediatric clinics particularly benefit.
