Impact of an Asynchronous Fatigue Mitigation Curriculum for Graduate Medical Education.
Article in ATS scholar, 2026. 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
backgroundSleep deprivation in medical trainees is associated with negative outcomes for both trainees and patients. Despite duty hour limitations, sleep deprivation is still common among residents and fellows. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education requires training programs to educate trainees and faculty members in recognizing fatigue and fatigue mitigation strategies, although there is no guidance on how this education should occur.
objectiveTo measure the impact of an asynchronous fatigue mitigation curriculum administered to trainees in graduate medical education at a large academic medical center.
methodsIn the 2023-2024 academic year, all resident and fellow trainees at a large academic medical center were asked to complete an asynchronous curriculum comprising three instructional videos with teaching on sleep structure and function, recognizing and reporting fatigue, and how to improve sleep. Impact on knowledge and trainee-assessed comfort were assessed via needs assessment, pretest, and posttest surveys. An annual survey was distributed 14 weeks after the initial curriculum launch to assess decay in knowledge and comfort.
resultsA total of 970 trainees participated in our asynchronous fatigue mitigation curriculum. Before curriculum launch, trainee comfort with the recognition of fatigue was low (53.5%) and baseline sleep habits were poor, with only 36% of trainees reporting at least 7 hours of sleep each night. After completion of the asynchronous curriculum, there was a significant improvement in trainee knowledge assessed via a six-question test (mean score, 2.87-3.59; P < 0.01), and this knowledge improvement was sustained over 14 weeks (P < 0.01). There were significant improvements in trainee comfort with all five fatigue-related tasks comparing pre- and posttests, with sustained improvement in four of these topics after 14 weeks. There was no significant change in trainee attitudes regarding comfort in reporting concerns about fatigue or requesting coverage when too fatigued to work.
conclusionOur asynchronous fatigue mitigation curriculum successfully and durably improved knowledge and trainee comfort with fatigue-related tasks in its first year. The asynchronous curriculum offers a sustainable solution to ensure this education reaches medical trainees across a large population of the graduate medical education population encompassing multiple subspecialties.
