A Multifaceted Resident-Led Physical Exam Course.
Article in MedEdPublish (2016), 2021. 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.

backgroundPhysicians frequently report poor confidence applying the physical exam for medical decision making. We developed a novel, multifaceted, resident-led curriculum to teach medical students the physical exam for clinical practice.
methodsWe created a two-week elective comprised of didactics, journal discussions, bedside ultrasound, and physical exam rounds for fourth year medical students at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine - Greenville.
resultsTwenty-two fourth year medical students enrolled in the elective over the course of three years. Seventeen faculty, three chief residents, and 13 residents provided instruction. Residents provided roughly half of the total instruction hours. Students demonstrated statistically significant improvement on multiple choice pre-course and post-course assessments (56.8% vs 77.1%, p < 0.001). 95.5% of students reported feeling "confident" in their physical exam skills after the course.
conclusionAfter participating in the course, students demonstrated improved skill and comfort using the physical exam for clinical decision making.
