Mixed-Methods Evaluation of Programmatic Interventions on Academic Performance and Resident Perspectives in Internal Medicine Residency.
Article in Advances in medical education and practice, 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
Background: The Oman Medical Specialty Board (OMSB) Internal Medicine Residency Program addressed challenges like fatigue, burnout, and academic stress by implementing programmatic changes. These interventions aimed to improve certification exam pass rates, scholarly productivity, and work-life balance, ultimately enhancing academic performance and resident well-being within the program. Objective: To evaluate the impact of four integrated programmatic interventions-reduced duty hours (24-hour to 12-hour shifts), restructured academic days, simulation-based workshops, and enhanced research mentorship-on academic performance, scholarly productivity, well-being, and resident satisfaction in an IM residency program. Methods: A mixed-methods study was conducted in the OMSB IM Residency Program during the 2022/23 academic year. Interventions included: (1) restructuring Internal Medicine Academic Days (IMAD) into full-day structured learning incorporating dedicated lectures (8 am-1 pm) and simulation-based workshops (1-3 pm), (2) reducing duty hours from 24-hour to 12-hour shifts, and (3) enhancing research training and mentorship. The quantitative component analyzed 78 residents in the pre-intervention period and 114 residents in the post-intervention period, measuring OMSB Part 1, Part 2, and Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) pass rates, as well as annual peer-reviewed resident publications. Independent z-tests compared outcomes between periods (p < 0.05). The qualitative component included semi-structured interviews with 13 purposively selected residents (third and fourth-year trainees), analyzed using Braun and Clarke's thematic framework. Results: Part 2 exam pass rates significantly improved (85.0% to 98.0%, Conclusion: Structured educational and wellness-focused interventions improved academic outcomes, scholarly output, and resident well-being. These findings support integrating similar strategies into residency programs, though further research is needed to assess long-term sustainability and broader applicability.
