Implementation of a Longitudinal Ultrasound Training Program for Senior Emergency Medicine Residents: Impact on Scan Volume and Accuracy.

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: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a critical skill in emergency medicine, yet training methods and assessment vary widely across residency programs. Skill degradation following initial training remains a persistent challenge. Objective: To evaluate the impact of a longitudinal ultrasound curriculum implemented during the third year of residency (R3) on scan volume and competency. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a single academic emergency medicine residency program. Residents from six graduating classes were analyzed, comparing ultrasound examination volume and quality between those exposed to the longitudinal curriculum (intervention group) and those trained under the prior model (control group). The intervention included 2-8 faculty-supervised scanning shifts during the R3 year. Results: A total of 84 residents performed 33,278 scans during the 6-year study period. Intervention group residents completed significantly more POCUS exams during their R3 year (mean 156.6 vs. 95.8; Conclusion: A structured longitudinal ultrasound curriculum during senior residency meaningfully increases scan volume without compromising examination accuracy, supporting its adoption as a feasible strategy to reinforce POCUS competence.
