PROMOTE: An Innovative Curriculum to Enhance the Maternity Care Workforce.
Article in Family medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesMaternal morbidity and mortality disproportionally affect marginalized populations in both rural and urban settings. While the workforce of family physicians (FPs) who provide maternity care is declining, an enhanced obstetrics (OB) curriculum during residency training can help prepare future FPs to provide competent pregnancy care, particularly in marginalized communities.
methodsWe developed an innovative OB curriculum-PROMOTE: Primary care obstetrics and maternal outcomes training enhancement-in an urban underserved residency program in Pennsylvania that directly addressed barriers previously known to impact maternity care practice. We created a clinical competency assessment aligned with Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education requirements, and we reviewed resident feedback and logs throughout and upon completion of the track.
resultsAfter 3 years of implementation, 23 of 48 (48%) total residents entered and/or completed PROMOTE, compared to 17 of 45 (38%) total residents who chose the OB track in the 5 years prior to implementation. Postimplementation, 29.6% of total graduates practice inpatient obstetrics, compared to 26.6% prior to implementation. Twice annual competency evaluations were completed for all residents on the track. Our review of resident submitted feedback, logs, and competency assessments suggests that the curriculum has positively impacted their knowledge, skills, and clinical care provision.
conclusionsPROMOTE's curricular innovation enhances obstetrical training by addressing known facilitators and barriers to practicing family medicine obstetrics. PROMOTE was implemented in an existing family medicine residency with an obstetrics track and could be adapted by other residency programs to enhance the future maternity care workforce.
