1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 and Objectives: Continuous EEG (cEEG) has emerged as an important monitoring tool in the intensive care unit (ICU). Traditional EEG curricula for neurology residents mainly consist of didactic lectures, which often yield limited exposure to ICU EEG concepts and are insufficient to develop proficiency. The aim of this study was to develop a curriculum to enhance neurology resident ICU EEG education. The objectives included: (1) improving residents' ICU EEG knowledge by providing exposure to real ICU EEG cases and (2) facilitating discussion of EEG findings and monitoring plans within the multidisciplinary team. Methods: We developed and implemented Neurocritical Care (NCC)-EEG rounds, a daily 30-minute virtual conference targeting neurology residents during their NCC rotation, to review cEEG studies of patients under NCC care. Residents' comfort and knowledge toward ICU EEG interpretation were assessed before and after 4-week NCC rotation using self-designed questionnaires. An acceptability survey was distributed to residents and the neurophysiology team at the conclusion of the study reporting period to gather feedback. The paired Results: Data from 20 residents showed significant improvement in subjective comfort (5-point Likert) with overall EEG interpretation (+0.6, [95% CI 0.22-0.98], Discussion: Our model of daily NCC-EEG rounds integrates case-based EEG review into neurology residents' daily clinical care. It is shown to be an effective strategy in improving neurology residents' ICU EEG education and strengthening interteam communication at our institution. Further work is needed to assess the model's long-term effectiveness and generalizability.
