Should neonatal-perinatal medicine move to two-year fellowships?
Review in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The duration of the majority of fellowships in pediatrics has been three-years. With increasing shortages of some outpatient-based pediatric subspecialists, shorter two-year fellowships are being considered for clinically oriented trainees not interested in a career based on research. Shortening the duration of fellowship may have some financial merits such as achieving a higher salary earlier after shorter training. However, we feel that continuing with a three-year duration for neonatology is more pragmatic at this time due to reductions in intensive care rotations during residency, time required to achieve procedural excellence, the need for exposure to quality assurance methodology, proficiency in novel techniques such as bedside ultrasound, and to maintain the physician-scientist pipeline. The demand for neonatal fellowship continues to be high. Ongoing evaluation of the job market, training needs and fellowship curriculum is needed to determine if the duration of fellowship should be altered in the future.
