Addressing gaps in pediatric resident education on the management of intestinal failure in the United States: Creation and implementation of a targeted 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
Introduction: Pediatric residents at our institution manage patients with intestinal failure (IF), but report associated anxiety due to clinical inexperience and lack of formal education in this field. This pilot project aimed to identify knowledge gaps and address them through a targeted educational intervention. Methods: A needs assessment survey was distributed to all pediatric residents via QR codes and email. The survey included Likert-scale, multiple-choice, open-ended, and rating questions to assess confidence in IF-related care. Survey results informed a targeted curriculum that addressed key deficit areas through an in-person lecture, workshops, and a reference guide aligned with residents' preferred learning formats. A post-intervention survey, modeled after the initial assessment, was distributed five months later to evaluate the curriculum's impact. Results: Of the 131 residents, 40 (31%) completed the initial survey. Residents reported lowest confidence (<4/10) in calculating and ordering home Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) and TPN-like fluids, understanding remaining anatomy, managing central access loss and poor catheter blood flow, identifying signs of D-lactic acidosis and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and ensuring proper stoma care. Conversely, they felt more confident managing feeding intolerance and central line-associated infections (5-6/10), and signs of shock (>7/10). Five months post-implementation, twenty residents (15%) completed the post-intervention survey, showing improved confidence in managing IF patients, particularly in TPN management (p = 0.0083) and enteral/stoma care (p = 0.0393). Interest in IF education increased from 64% to 85%. Conclusion: The needs assessment highlighted critical gaps in resident IF education. A targeted, resident-informed curriculum improved confidence and engagement. Next step is national dissemination.
