1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Pediatric behavioral and mental health (BMH) disorders are increasingly common, but most pediatricians feel inadequately trained to manage them. We implemented a case-based, longitudinal curriculum in BMH within a pediatric residency program to prepare trainees to diagnose and manage these conditions. Methods: The pediatric residency program at Wright State University/Wright-Patterson Medical Center implemented a new BMH curriculum in 2020-2021. The curriculum consisted of five simulated cases involving depression, anxiety, attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity (ADHD), developmental delays, behavioral concerns, and autism. To reflect follow-up within a continuity clinic, cases included initial encounters and multiple follow-up visits. Faculty facilitators led residents in monthly small-group meetings over the academic year, with each session consisting of two to three simulated patient encounters. Residents completed pre-post surveys regarding their confidence in diagnosing and managing BMH conditions and pre- and posttests to evaluate the impact of the curriculum on knowledge gains. Results: All 47 pediatric residents participated in the curriculum; 38 (81%) completed pre-post surveys. Upon completion of the curriculum, residents reported significantly increased confidence in managing ADHD, treating depression, creating safety plans for suicidality, recognizing autism, and counseling patients and families on special education services. Knowledge-based pre- and posttests completed by 25 residents (53%) also demonstrated significant improvement ( Discussion: This case-based, longitudinal curriculum in pediatric BMH simulating patient continuity improved residents' confidence and knowledge in diagnosing and managing common BMH conditions.
