Curriculum Innovation: Combining Didactic and Clinic-Based Methods to Improve Palliative Care Education for Neurology Residents and Advance Practice Providers.

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
Background and Objectives: The American Academy of Neurology recognizes a need for neurology clinicians to provide some aspects of palliative care. Palliative care is person-centered and family-centered care that focuses on quality of life for persons living with life-limiting illness. While palliative education programs exist, there is a knowledge gap regarding how to integrate this education into real-world neurology practice. The aim of this study was to improve the perceived knowledge of, comfort with discussing, and frequency of discussing palliative care topics in outpatient neurology practice. Methods: Recorded didactic lectures, note templates, and live meetings to discuss real-world challenges were implemented at an academic neurology department and offered to residents and advanced practice providers (APPs). A sample of residents and APPs completed surveys before and 6 months after using this curriculum. Surveys asked questions with Likert responses about their knowledge of, comfort with, and frequency of discussing 7 palliative care topics. A sample of learners and supervising faculty participated in semistructured interviews where authors explored their perceptions about palliative care and this curriculum. Interviews were audiotaped, transcribed verbatim, deidentified, coded, and analyzed. Results: A total of 19 clinicians completed pre-education surveys and 12 completed posteducation surveys. Surveys showed statistically significant improvements overall, including in practical support for patients/care partners, discussing complex symptom management, advance care planning, higher levels of care, and discussing disease course. Overall, 12 interviews were completed, with 4 themes identified: (1) Discussion: Neurology clinicians want to practice palliative care but need ongoing education, sufficient time, clinical availability, and supervisory support to do so. Lectures, note templates, and live meetings to practice palliative care can be implemented feasibly in neurology practice and show preliminary signs of efficacy. Further work is needed to develop and test methods that aim to influence real-world practice.
