Developing and Implementing a Quality Improvement Curriculum in a Large Internal Medicine Residency Program.
Article in Journal of medical education and curricular development. 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
introductionResidency programs face increasing expectations to grow competency in system-based practice and quality improvement (QI) among trainees. Organizations like the American Board of Internal Medicine and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education have included QI knowledge in their recertification and accreditation requirements. We describe our experiences over a decade of sustaining a longitudinal experiential QI curriculum at a large Internal Medicine residency program.
methodsEach resident participated in interactive seminars as well as a faculty-mentored, team-based QI project. Each project was formally evaluated at an end-of-year poster presentation.
resultsOne hundred thirty-six projects were completed between 2007 and 2016. A presurvey of 51 PGY-1 residents (59%) and a postsurvey of 50 PGY-2 and PGY-3 residents (46%) demonstrated increased comfort leading a QI project and improved knowledge of QI principles. We continue a modified version of the curriculum to accommodate the residency program's restructured ambulatory teaching experiences and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
conclusionImplementing a performance improvement curriculum based in a resident continuity clinic is feasible and affords several advantages. In applying QI methodologies, residents learn how to measure adherence with current evidence-based medicine guidelines and develop interventions to maintain positive momentum within the reality of busy clinical practice.
