Evaluation of Outpatient Procedures Simulation Curriculum for Internal Medicine Residents.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundOutpatient procedure training in internal medicine residency has not been shown to produce high-level outcomes such as improved volume and quality of procedures performed on real patients.
objectiveThe objective of this study was to improve the volume and quality of outpatient procedures performed by internal medicine residents by administering a simulation-based curricular intervention.
designValidated teaching materials and local faculty input were used to design a simulation curriculum for teaching the knee joint injection/aspiration and skin abscess incision and drainage. A prospective curricular intervention was implemented for a single cohort of internal medicine interns.
participantsAll internal medicine interns at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center during the 2021-2022 academic year were allowed to participate in this educational intervention with no exclusion criteria.
interventionsForty-seven interns received 30 min of simulation education for each procedure. MAIN MEASURES: Primary outcomes included total number of procedures performed in clinic, volume of procedures performed by residents, percentage of total procedures performed by residents, and procedural success and complication rates before and after the curricular intervention. KEY
resultsAt 1-year post-curriculum, the total number of procedures in clinic increased by 25%. Procedures by residents increased by 110%, with joint injections/aspirations increasing by 317% and skin abscess incision and drainage increasing by 200%. Complication rates reduced from 25 to 0%, and 100% of resident-performed procedures post-curriculum were completed successfully.
conclusionThese findings demonstrate that a novel outpatient procedures simulation curriculum can positively impact higher-level clinical practice outcomes for internal medicine residents.
