Cultivating Professionalism in Saudi Arabian Neurology Residency Programs: The Impact of Case-Based Learning.

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
Purpose: There is no universally accepted definition of medical professionalism, making it challenging to identify the most effective teaching methods for embedding professionalism within postgraduate residency curricula. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of case-based learning (CBL) in teaching professionalism to neurology residents at two training centers in Saudi Arabia. An additional objective was to assess the residents' knowledge of professionalism. Methods: A pre- and post-test design was utilized using the Penn State College of Medicine Professionalism Questionnaire, which was administered to all neurology residents at the two participating hospitals. This approach measured the changes in residents' understanding of professionalism before and after they participated in three consecutive weeks of CBL sessions. Theses sessions included interactive case discussion aimed at enhancing their understanding of professionalism. Results: Neurology residents exhibited significant improvements in several professionalism domains after interventions. The experimental group showed marked enhancements in accountability (P=0.002, effect size=0.59) and duty (P=0.018, effect size=0.46). The control group, after CBL sessions, improved significantly in altruism (P=0.0008, effect size=0.64) and honor/integrity (P=0.018, effect size=0.45). Post-intervention, the experimental group demonstrated superior altruism compared to the control group pre-intervention (P=0.03, effect size=0.40). Conclusion: The observed improvements in various aspects of professionalism indicate that case-based learning is an effective method for bolstering neurology residents' understanding and knowledge of professionalism. This finding supports the inclusion of CBL in residency curricula to foster professional development.
