Pediatric Endocrinology Education Among Trainees: A Scoping Review.
Article in The clinical teacher, 2025. 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
introductionPediatric endocrinology education is a fundamental part of all pediatric endocrinology training. Hence, understanding the current methods used for training learners on skills required and understanding methods or topics that may be underexplored could help improve the quality of training.
objectiveThis study aims to explore training and assessment strategies used in pediatric endocrinology training across medical education programs through a scoping review.
methodsSearch strategy was developed with a librarian, and bibliographic databases (e.g., MEDLINE and EMBASE) were searched from January 2005 to July 2024. Pilot screenings ensured consistent inclusion/exclusion decisions among reviewers. Full-text articles were included if they were related to pediatric endocrinology education and focused on medical learners.
resultsWe included 45 of 5814 sources of evidence for data extraction. Majority focused on knowledge of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and diabetes ketoacidosis (N = 18), followed by differences in sex development and pubertal assessment (N = 12). The most frequently used training method was through didactics. Additionally, the most frequently used assessment measures included knowledge tests (N = 25). Also, a limited number of studies targeted obesity (N = 2), gender care (N = 3), thyroid (N = 1) and hypoglycaemia (N = 1), and no studies targeted common topics such as bone health and adrenal insufficiency.
conclusionThis review reveals the current emphasis on diabetes-related topics and traditional teaching in pediatric endocrinology education. It suggests a need for more innovative methods, like simulation-based learning and varied assessment techniques, to better equip trainees. Addressing these gaps can improve trainee confidence, patient care, and health outcomes for children with endocrine disorders.
