Understanding Internal Medicine Residents' Rheumatology Knowledge Base.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Rheumatology is one of the internal medicine subspecialties that residents train to become proficient in during their internal medicine training. Our study sought to understand how residents across all postgraduate year levels felt in terms of comfortability and exposure to rheumatology. We focused on the subjective measurement of resident knowledge and exposure rather than objective data. A five-question survey was distributed to all 75 residents of Lenox Hill Hospital's Internal Medicine categorical residency program, from PGY1 to PGY3. When asked if they get enough exposure or feel confident treating patients with rheumatology diseases, 96% of residents responded no. When asked about their confidence in boards, the average response was a 3/10. The residents at our program voiced a strong concern for lack of exposure and education. Other studies and institutions have shown this to be a problem that has also been seen with poor test performance on the subject. We explore educational modalities to help improve this gap in education.
