Improving Family Medicine Residency Training in Women's Health-Related Procedures at a Community Hospital.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
introductionThe Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education requires family medicine (FM) residents to be trained in outpatient procedures. The Society of Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM) group on hospital and procedural training compiled a core list of procedures that all FM residents should perform by graduation. We implemented a quality improvement project using a bundled intervention to enhance resident training in outpatient gynecological procedures. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis quasi-experimental study evaluated a multifaceted bundled intervention. Baseline data were collected from January 2018 to June 2019, with intervention phases occurring from June 2019 to February 2020 and March 2021 to November 2022. Stakeholders collaborated to identify barriers using process mapping and Ishikawa diagrams. The JMP Pro 17 software (JMP Statistical Discovery LLC, Cary, NC, USA) was used to create an X-mR statistical process control (SPC) chart for phase analysis. Poisson regression analysis was conducted to assess the impact of the intervention on the number of women's health-related procedures performed per resident per month. Residents' graduation portfolios were reviewed for documentation of procedural competency.
resultsThe intervention increased the average number of procedures from two to six per resident per month. Significant increases in procedural volume were observed during phase 1 (roll-out) and phase 3 (post-intervention), with a temporary stall in phase 2 due to COVID-19 disruptions. Poisson regression analysis showed statistically significant increases in incidence rate ratios during phases 1 and 3 (p<0.005). Documentation of competency in women's health-related procedures at graduation also improved over time.
conclusionsAn FM residency training program successfully utilized a multifaceted, bundled intervention to increase the number of gynecological procedures performed at FM practice sites, aligning resident training with STFM recommendations.
