Use of Epic Signal Data to Evaluate the Impact of an "EHR Pearls" Curriculum.
Article in PRiMER (Leawood, Kan.), 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
Introduction: Family medicine (FM) residents spend hours working in the electronic health record (EHR). We implemented a multifaceted training program to improve their ability to utilize the EHR. This study analyzed Epic Signal data to assess the impact of that training on their proficiency and efficiency in the system. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study using 3 years of monthly data exported from Epic's Signal database for residents in our FM program and programs of internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, and pediatrics within our organization. The EHR training program was implemented in FM (and not the other residencies) incrementally across this time frame. We analyzed trends in Epic's proprietary Provider Efficiency Profile Score ("efficiency") and Proficiency Score ("proficiency") for differences in these scores. Results: FM residents demonstrated improved proficiency in EHR use over time compared to the other residencies. No significant changes in efficiency were seen for any group. Conclusion: Epic Signal data provides a tool to study curricular impacts. An EHR training program enhanced FM residents' proficiency but did not improve efficiency.
