Improvement of Confidence and Knowledge Retention for Stroke Management Among Internal Medicine Trainees During an Institution-Specific, Protocol-Oriented Lecture Based Intervention.
Article in Journal of Brown hospital medicine, 2024. 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
Background: Acute stroke management is an essential component of neurology residency education. Internal medicine trainees are less likely to receive dedicated training in acute stroke care despite having to care for hospitalized patients with a stroke diagnosis. Objective: The objectives of this survey-based quality improvement study were to: 1) assess pre-existing confidence and knowledge about acute stroke care among internal medicine trainees and 2) measure change after an institution-specific, protocol-oriented "value added lecture" (intervention). Methods: Pre-intervention survey and knowledge assessment was given to internal medicine physicians, residents, and students, followed by the intervention on acute stroke management, during academic year 2019-2020. Post-intervention assessment was administered immediately post-intervention, and again at end of rotation. A 10-point Likert scale was used to indicate confidence. Statistics were performed using Student's T-Test. Results: Fifty-one respondents participated, out of a possible 162 (31% participation rate); 13 (25%) of the 51 respondents completed the delayed post-intervention survey. Only twenty-six (51%) participants had previously received a lecture on acute stroke management. Respondents' knowledge and confidence on acute stroke management improved after intervention (p<0.0001), with no change in these scores by end of rotation (p=0.31). Forty-five (88%) respondents agreed or strongly agreed that a targeted stroke didactic was a useful part of internal medicine training. Conclusions: An institution-specific, protocol-oriented lecture improved stroke management knowledge and confidence among internal medicine trainees, particularly among earlier trainees. A dedicated stroke management lecture should be considered as an addition to internal medicine training programs' curricula.
