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
objectiveThis study describes a psychiatry residency curriculum integrating root cause analysis (RCA), reflective practice, and systems-based thinking within morbidity and mortality (M&M) conferences.
methodsAs part of post-graduate year 2 (PGY-2) didactics, 40 residents and recent graduates (n = 40) completed a 9-week RCA course culminating in a formal, resident-led M&M conference from 2018 to 2023. A one-time anonymous electronic survey was distributed to past participants in March 2024. The survey included 20 Likert scale items assessing knowledge, skills, and attitudes aligned with Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) competencies.
resultsRespondents (n = 29; 100%) agreed or strongly agreed with 13 of 20 survey items, particularly regarding understanding of systems issues and contributing factors in adverse events. Twenty-nine respondents (100%) reported the course fostered respect and psychological safety. Items receiving neutral or disagree responses primarily reflected self-assessments of ability to challenge judgments or discuss their mistakes.
conclusionsA structured curriculum combining reflective practice with objective RCA effectively enhanced psychiatry residents' knowledge, skills, and attitudes across multiple ACGME competencies. Although limited by single site-design, modest sample size, and recall bias, this model represents a scalable approach to teaching patient safety and systems-based practice in psychiatry training.
