Impact of a training intervention on upper gastrointestinal endoscopy quality over time: Multicenter comparative cohort study.

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 and study aims: The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) and British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) formulated performance measures to improve the detection rate for upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopy. We aimed to assess adherence to and impact of training on adherence to performance measures for UGI endoscopy. Methods: In this multicenter, prospective, cohort study, endoscopists at three centers underwent 1-hour face-to-face training based on ESGE and BSG procedure performance measures (≥ 7-minute inspection time; photodocumentation of ≥ 10 anatomical landmarks + abnormalities; standardized terminology; biopsy protocols). A self-developed quality assessment score was used to assess diagnostic UGI endoscopies before (control group) and after (intervention group) training. The primary endpoint was improvement in overall quality score (percentage of the maximum score). Results: Of 1,733 consecutive UGI endoscopies, 570 were eligible for inclusion (mean patient age 60 years [standard deviation 15]; male 47%): 285 in the control group and 285 in the intervention group. Overall quality score increased from 60% before to 67% after the training intervention (difference 7%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 5-10, Conclusions: Adherence to the ESGE and BSG procedure performance measures for UGI endoscopy persistently increased after a 1-hour face-to-face training intervention, suggesting that a simple training intervention tool can improve the quality of UGI endoscopy and potentially could prevent missed lesions.
