Competency-Based Cardiology Training: A Simple Approach to Improve Supervisor Completion of Entrustable Professional Activities.

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: Adult cardiology residency programs formally transitioned to Competency by Design (CBD) in July 2021. CBD was designed to establish clear learning expectations and increase opportunities for coaching; however, cited challenges include inconsistent participation by staff, and variable timelines for receiving feedback. This project was designed to implement a simple intervention to improve expiry rates and completion timelines of entrustable professional activities (EPAs). Methods: EPAs triggered by cardiology residents at Dalhousie University between July 1, 2020 and February 28, 2023 were reviewed. The intervention consisted of performance reviews, including a grand rounds presentation, along with a personalized data set distributed to each staff supervisor, with individual statistics compared to group averages. Outcomes include EPAs completed per resident-months, time to completion, and percentage of expired EPAs. Results: At 12 months postintervention, the percentage of expired EPAs decreased from 35.0% to 21.5% (odds ratio 0.51, CI 0.33-0.79; Conclusions: Performance reviews in the form of a group presentation, along with the distribution of personalized data sets to supervisors, positively impacted EPA expiry rates, completion timelines, and completion rates, which helped facilitate the transition to CBD.
