Impact of a Resident-as-Teacher Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Curriculum on Learner Confidence: A Prospective Educational Study.
Article in Cureus, 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
backgroundPoint-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is increasingly recognized as a core clinical skill in medical education. Resident-as-teacher models offer scalable educational approaches.
objectiveTo evaluate the impact of a resident-led POCUS curriculum on learner confidence.
methodsA prospective educational intervention was conducted at the Internal Medicine Department in Florida International University College of Medicine. Two identical five-hour workshops were delivered. Learners and instructors completed paired surveys. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.
resultsLearners (n=9) demonstrated significant improvement in clinical application (p=0.031) and image interpretation (p=0.047), with mean confidence increasing across domains. Instructors (n=8) maintained high baseline confidence with no significant change.
conclusionA resident-led POCUS curriculum improves learner confidence and supports scalable education models.
