Curriculum Innovation: Neuro Day: An Innovative Educational Intervention to Enhance Interest in Neurology for Medical Trainees.

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
Introduction and Problem Statement: Limited or delayed exposure to neurology decreases interest and reduces the likelihood of pursuing neurology as a career for medical trainees. Educational events that strengthen student-to-patient interactions may help dispel misinformation about neurologic treatments and outcomes. Innovative educational strategies such as the use of multimedia to teach the neurologic examination, incorporation of real patients, and integration of clinical neurology mentors were combined to create Neuro Day, an educational event designed to pique neurology interest for first-year medical students. Objectives: The aim of this intervention was to provide early neurology exposure to medical students to increase interest in neurology and interest in pursuing neurology for residency, improve perceptions of neurologic disease and treatment, and enhance neuroscience knowledge, as well as to improve physician-educator enjoyment of teaching clinical neurology. Methods and Curriculum: In 2023 and 2024, first-year medical students participated in Neuro Day. In part 1, students used an interactive video module to review neurology examination and pathophysiology. In part 2, student groups rotated to stations in a mock patient rounds format. Stations included patient-educators with real neurologic diseases paired with a physician-educator who moderated the discussion of the patient experience, pathophysiology, and examination findings. Students, patient-educators, and physician-educators were surveyed before and after Neuro Day. Statistical analysis included the paired Results and Assessment Data: After Neuro Day, 108 of 115 (94%) and 98 of 103 (95%) first-year medical students and 10 of 13 physician-educators (77%) completed both presurvey and postsurvey, revealing the following: (1) increased interest in neurology ( Discussion and Lessons Learned: Neuro Day is a feasible teaching paradigm to increase interest in neurology, reshape perceptions about neurology, improve confidence in performing a neurologic examination, reinforce neuroscience lecture content, encourage more students to pursue neurology residency, and improve physician-educator professional fulfillment.
