Competency-based ultrasound curriculum for standardized training resident: a pre- and post-training evaluation.
Article in BMC medical education, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundUltrasound training is crucial for residents across specialties but presents challenges for residents that are not specializing in ultrasound. Investigating the effectiveness of competency-based ultrasound curricula for a wider range of medical specialties is imperative.
methodsA total of 250 residents who attended the ultrasound curriculum between June 2023 and June 2024 were included in the analysis. The competency-based curriculum combined theoretical and practical training. The evaluations were taken both before the residents participated in the ultrasound curriculum (pre-training) and after completing the training (post-training). Resident feedback was also collected.
resultsPost-training, all the grades improved interpretation scores and reduced answer times, resulting in knowledge homogenization. Imaging specialty residents initially scored higher, but non-imaging-related residents showed greater improvements post-training; feedback highlighted the need for an expanded training scope, more hands-on practice, and optimized schedules, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive ultrasound training.
conclusionsThe competency-based ultrasound curriculum enhances theoretical and practical skills, standardizing knowledge across grades and benefiting non-imaging-related residents the most. This study supports the integration of structured ultrasound training in residency programs to improve clinical competencies.
