Night vision: a new blueprint for bedside ultrasound training in medical residency.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundFaculty expertise and support, resident scheduling, and cost of ultrasound machines are common barriers encountered when attempting to implement a new point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) curriculum. Integration of a POCUS curriculum into existing night medicine rotations helps bypass these barriers by minimizing the amount of trained faculty required and harnessing clinical opportunities within a pre-existing curriculum.
methods37 PGY-1 residents participated in this pilot study within the inpatient setting of VCU Health hospital, primarily during their night medicine rotations. Faculty included four full-time nocturnists. Residents received didactics on pulmonary and abdominal imaging and completed online modules. Practice opportunities occurred primarily during night medicine rotations under the supervision of the nocturnists.
resultsResidents underwent pre- and post-curriculum surveys and knowledge/skills assessments. Comfort, knowledge, and skills significantly increased pre- to post-curriculum. Mean skills assessment scores increased from 13.4 to 23.6 points out of 34 (p < 0.001). Mean knowledge assessment scores increased from 54 to 61% (p < 0.001).
conclusionIntegration of a POCUS curriculum into the existing night medicine rotation bypassed common barriers and resulted in statistically significant increases in resident comfort, knowledge, and skills.
