Sleep Education in Otolaryngology Residency Programs: Trends Over the Past Decade.
Article in Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 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
objectiveWe aim to assess current trends in sleep education in otolaryngology residency training programs in the United States. STUDY
designCross-sectional survey.
settingOtolaryngology residency programs in the United States.
methodsSurvey sent to otolaryngology program directors. Responses compared to results of prior sleep education surveys.
resultsIn total, 31 program directors responded (response rate 29%). In total, 93% reported having faculty with clinical time dedicated to the treatment of sleep disorders, an increase from 58% in 2011. However, only 29% reported having faculty with board certification in sleep medicine. In total, 71% have at least 0.6 months of cumulative training time related to sleep medicine, a significant increase from 34% in 2011 (P < .01). In total, 61% report at least 5 hours of didactics on sleep medicine in their curriculum compared to 16% in 2011 (P = .01); 77% of programs provide education on the interpretation of home polysomnograms (48% 2011) (P = .02), while 83% provide residents with training on interpreting in-laboratory polysomnograms (2011 92%) (P = .47).
conclusionThe current study suggests positive growth with regards to sleep education in otolaryngology residency training over the past decade. Responding programs report an increase in faculty providing sleep medicine treatment, an increase in exposure to home polysomnography interpretation, and an increase in sleep medicine-related didactic hours. The number of programs with faculty subspecialized in sleep medicine remains low. Although resident exposure to sleep medicine education is improving, additional educational opportunities to enhance resident physicians' sleep education experience would likely be beneficial.
