Towards Truly Integrated Undergraduate Radiology Education: An Ultrasound-Based Bedside Radiology Teaching Quality Improvement Project.
Article in Cureus, 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
backgroundRadiology is central to modern clinical practice, yet its integration into undergraduate medical curricula is often limited to lecture-based formats, leading to fragmented learning and low student engagement. To address this gap, we undertook a quality improvement project (QIP) introducing a novel ultrasound-based, small-group teaching intervention during final-year medical students' surgical rotations, aiming to enhance engagement, diagnostic reasoning, and confidence in radiology. METHODOLOGY: This QIP was conducted at a district general hospital in the United Kingdom. Final-year medical students (
resultsForty students (91%) completed surveys. All students rated the intervention as superior to previous lecture-based radiology teaching, with 36 (90%) describing it as
conclusionsIntegrating small-group, ultrasound-based radiology teaching into surgical rotations significantly improved student engagement, diagnostic reasoning, and confidence compared to traditional lecture-based formats. This experiential, context-rich approach offers a practical model for embedding radiology education into undergraduate curricula and may foster more meaningful collaboration between future clinicians and radiologists.
