Training International Medical Graduate Internal Medicine Residents in Pelvic Examinations and Pap Smears.
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. 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
backgroundNearly 39% of Internal Medicine (IM) residents in American training programs are international medical graduates (IMGs), whose prior training in women's health is variable. There is a paucity of data about women's health training programs that train IMG IM residents in pelvic examinations/Pap smears.
aimTo train IMG IM residents to competently perform pelvic examinations/Pap smears.
settingMontefiore Wakefield IM residency clinic, Bronx NY.
participantsIMG categorical IM residents. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: In 2015, we established the Women's Health Clinic (WHC) to train residents in pelvic examinations/Pap smears. The educational model includes one hour of didactics followed by trainees seeing up to four patients, supervised by WHC faculty in 1:2 preceptor to resident ratio. PROGRAM EVALUATION: We evaluated the impact of WHC on IMG residents' self-reported competence in performing pelvic examinations/Pap smears by using McNemar's test to compare self-reported competence in pelvic examinations and Pap smears before and after WHC participation. DISCUSSION: WHC improved self-reported competence among IMG residents by utilizing standardized didactics reinforced through immediate and repeated patient interactions. It is an educational model that could be reproduced by other IM programs to improve training for IMG residents.
