Shaping an Early Nephrology Fellowship Curriculum: Results from the American Society of Nephrology Fellow Survey.
Article in Kidney360, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
key pointsA quarter of Nephrology Fellow Survey respondents reported feeling unprepared to start fellowship. Current fellows desire a focus on nephrology emergencies and executive functioning skills in an early-fellowship curriculum. Optimizing early fundamental nephrology education has potential to positively influence fellows' clinical success.
backgroundThe transition between residency and nephrology fellowship can be difficult for many trainees because of nephrology's inherent complexity and high-intensity nature as well as the lack of standardization in internal medicine training. We aimed to assess self-perceived preparedness of nephrology fellows at the start of fellowship and explore learner preferences for educational methods and content for an early-fellowship curriculum.
methodsData were collected using an instrument included in the 2025 American Society of Nephrology Fellow Survey.
resultsResponses from 339 adult nephrology fellows were included in analysis. Most responding fellows (252 [74%]) reported feeling extremely prepared, very prepared, or moderately prepared when starting nephrology fellowship. Preparedness was associated with completing three or more weeks of nephrology rotations in residency (chi-squared test for independence, P = 0.004). Half of fellows (49%) reported participating in an early-fellowship curriculum before starting clinical rotations. Learner preferences for educational methods used in an early-fellowship curriculum were similar to those most commonly used in contemporary curricula (didactics, shadowing senior fellows, and case simulations), although there was a preference for small-group problem-based learning compared with procedural training. Fellows reported a preference for learning about common inpatient nephrology emergencies (AKI, dialysis prescriptions and complications, and electrolytes and acid/base) and executive functioning skills (workflow/efficiency and discussing dialysis and goals of care with patients) in their ideal early-fellowship curriculum.
conclusionsThese results can help inform development of future early-fellowship curricula on the basis of current fellows' experiences and perceived needs to promote successful clinical training.
