Radiology resident proficiency in pediatric trauma cases: a comparative analysis based on trauma center status using the WIDI SIM exam.
Article in Emergency radiology, 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
purposeTo investigate the correlation between pediatric and adult trauma center status and radiology resident performance on pediatric trauma cases using the WIDI SIM exam. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe WIDI SIM is a validated computer-aided simulation that assesses radiology residents' preparedness for independent call duty. It includes 65 cases across various imaging modalities derived from actual patient encounters. Faculty score free-text responses using a standardized 0-10 scale rubric. We analyzed 8,488 WIDI SIM exam scores from 35 pediatric trauma cases across 52 programs. A negative binomial regression model adjusting for resident level, imaging modality, and case specialty was employed to evaluate the impact of pediatric and adult trauma center status on resident performance.
resultsBoth pediatric trauma center status (p = 0.0005) and adult trauma center status (p = 0.0003) were significant predictors of higher resident scores. Resident level was also significant, with higher-level residents performing better than first-year residents (p < 0.001). Residents performed worse on MR and US modalities compared to CT, and performance varied by case specialty.
conclusionRadiology residents' pediatric trauma imaging skills are significantly linked to pediatric and adult trauma center status. Given most pediatric traumas occur outside pediatric trauma centers, targeted training strategies should be considered to ensure residents develop essential diagnostic skills.
