Beyond the Scope: The Hidden Curriculum in GI Fellowship and Its Implication for Change.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2026. 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
backgroundThe hidden curriculum exists beyond formal and informal curricula and impacts a learner's experience as something learned that is not intentionally taught. It is discussed extensively in undergraduate medical education literature, but less understood in graduate medical education, especially in a procedurally focused subspecialty training such as gastroenterology (GI) fellowship.
aimsTo better understand examples of the hidden curriculum in GI fellowship, from the perspective of fellows, to improve the overall educational experience.
methodsA qualitative analysis of semi-structured virtual interviews using grounded theory was performed.
resultsTwelve fellows of six different programs participated and revealed four main categories of themes: Hierarchies and Training Dynamics, Endoscopic and Procedural Training, Professional Aspirations and Career Perspectives, Patient Care, and Challenges.
conclusionThis study highlights areas of the GI fellowship learning experience that can be classified as part of the hidden curriculum and informs areas for further improvement: fostering a more collaborative learning environment, improving endoscopic training through formalized curricula and instructor professional development, addressing stereotypes in career decision-making, and modeling positive patient communication behaviors.
