Teaching Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Ultrasound: Methods That Improved Medical Students' Knowledge and Confidence in Performing JVP Assessment.

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
Purpose: Jugular venous pressure ultrasound (JVP US) augments the physical examination by allowing direct visualization of the jugular vein. While JVP US offers diagnostic advantages, there is limited literature describing methods for teaching JVP US to medical students. We describe methods by which medical students were trained to use JVP US as part of volume status assessment. We aimed to increase student knowledge as well as demonstrate students' ability to apply bedside JVP US skills through this workshop. Patients and Methods: Ninety-one medical students completing a sub-internship in internal medicine participated in this study. All students received a brief didactic workshop on dyspnea, an overview of JVP US, and then a hands-on bedside practice session with JVP US on two volunteer patients. Students participated in the study by completing a pre-survey and post-survey which aimed to assess both knowledge and confidence. Results: After completing the JVP US training program, students demonstrated increased knowledge in multiple assessed survey questions. Additionally, they were more confident in their ability to distinguish the jugular vein from the carotid artery using color and pulse wave doppler (Pre- 2.67 to Post- 4.62; p <0.001). Finally, students believed that JVP US added confidence to their estimation of JVP when added to the physical examination (Pre- 3.88 to Post- 4.64; p <0.001). Conclusion: In this single-arm, non-randomized study, after a didactic workshop and structured bedside JVP US practice session, student surveys showed an increase in knowledge and self-reported confidence in the usage of JVP US as a complement to the physical examination for patients with dyspnea.
