Improving resident confidence with a low-cost interventional spine course.
Article in Interventional pain medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Procedure training is highly desired by residents pursuing a career in interventional pain medicine; however, the opportunities for hands-on training may vary amongst residency programs for various reasons. Objective: To evaluate the change in residents' self-perceive competence after participation in a novel low-cost resident interventional spine course, as well as how resident experience (years of training) influences change over time. This article offers step-by-step details on how to implement a resident interventional spine course. Methods: Residents completed a pre- and post-course survey in the domains of self-perceived confidence, knowledge, and skills related to interventional spine procedures. Results: Over five years, 19 individual residents participated in an annual elective interventional spine course (four residents chose to repeat the course during their training, one of which repeated it twice). The dimensions with highest percent improved change included the ability to perform a procedure kit set-up, followed by post-procedure complication management. Residents earlier in their training showed significantly greater improvement in rating their ability to conduct a pre-procedure chart review and addressing post-procedure complications compared to more experienced residents. In addition, resident feedback regarding the course was resoundingly positive. Of the 12 graduated residents, half applied and successfully matched into a pain medicine or sports medicine fellowship. Conclusion: A low-cost interventional spine course appears to be a practical option to help improve residents' confidence related to various aspects of interventional spine procedures.
