Research Literacy in Residency: Development, Implementation, and Outcomes for the Psychiatry Research Methods and Scholarship (PReMS) Curriculum.

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
objectiveDevelopment, implementation, and outcomes are described for the Psychiatry Research Methods and Scholarship (PReMS) curriculum targeting research literacy and scholarship during second year post graduate (PGY-2) residency training.
methodsPReMS development at the University of Colorado Department of Psychiatry (UC-DOP) incorporated expertise from residency leadership, pedagogy, and biostatistics and was fine-tuned during 5 years of implementation. Content addressed Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education core competencies in research literacy and scholarship. Faculty-authored publications from UC-DOP highlighted research aspects including different study designs, methods, populations, sources of bias, and statistical analyses. Residents chose a paper and led its discussion; lecture materials supported the concepts addressed. Faculty authors were invited to sessions when their papers were presented to meet residents, answer questions, and stimulate discussion. The course director developed an assessment for administration before and after PReMS.
resultsAcross five resident cohorts (n = 66), an increasing number and proportion of invited faculty authors attended sessions discussing their papers (93% overall). After PReMS, residents' research literacy scores improved significantly (p < 0.0001) by 17% on average after accounting for cohort; ratings of the importance of research to psychiatrists were unchanged.
conclusionsPreliminary results suggest PReMS is an effective curriculum to improve research literacy in residency and thereby advance proficiency in critical evaluation of the medical literature, a crucial skill for all physicians to become life-long learners. PReMS innovatively uses resident-led discussions of faculty-authored publications to make pedantic methodological material more interesting and to provide exposure to the implementing program's researchers, potentially enhancing scholarship mentoring opportunities.
