Feasibility of a Condensed EEG Curriculum Using a Procedural Based Learning Model.
Article in Clinical EEG and neuroscience, 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
BackgroundNeurology residency time constraints limit requisite EEG training, contributing to discomfort with this core skill. EEG interpretation is a procedural skill, and educational models utilizing cognitive and procedural elements may increase education efficacy and efficiency. We applied the Fitts-Posner procedural model to create a condensed EEG curriculum and assessed feasibility and efficacy.MethodsWe identified EEG education barriers then designed a curriculum including asynchronous didactics, EEG reading/staffing, and report writing. The curriculum was incorporated 2023-2024 into a 2-week (adult neurology) or 4-week (child neurology) epilepsy rotation. We evaluated EEG interpretation knowledge and confidence before, after and following a 3-month delay and solicited feedback.ResultsPrimary barriers to EEG education were insufficient practice and clinical responsibility. Ninety percent (19/21) of residents completed the curriculum. Residents identified reading/staffing EEGs and writing reports as instrumental curriculum components. Compared with pre-rotation, confidence and knowledge increased immediately post-rotation and following a 3-month delay but were lower at 3-months than immediately post-rotation. Child neurology residents had higher confidence than adult residents on post and 3-month surveys despite no knowledge differences.ConclusionsA condensed EEG curriculum using a procedural learning model was associated with improved confidence and knowledge after a 3-month delay. Confidence and knowledge were lower at 3-months than immediately post-rotation, indicating the need for reinforcing activities. Confidence was higher for child neurology residents with two extra rotation weeks suggesting additional training may also enhance confidence gains. Asynchronous didactics maximized efficiency, but residents valued reading/staffing EEGs and writing reports, highlighting the importance of sociocultural approaches.
