Essential Components of Child Neurology Training: Program Director Consensus Recommendations.
Article in Annals of the Child Neurology Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objective: We aimed to develop a program director-derived model of essential components of child neurology residency training. Methods: All 79 child neurology residency programs in the United States were invited to submit a block diagram with 48 months of required rotations, the minimum clinical requirement across all approved pathways. These block diagrams were then analyzed for consensus. Program directors were anonymously surveyed regarding whether a child neurology resident could be adequately trained using the consensus curriculum if implemented in either a 4- or a 5-year training program, and whether 4 years of residency could provide adequate training. Results: Fifty of 79 residency programs (63%) submitted a block diagram (54% in pediatrics departments, 46% in neurology departments). Greater than 75% of program directors recommended the following rotations with the average number of months recommended across all program directors in parentheses: pediatric inpatient/hospital medicine (3), pediatric non-consult intensive care (3), healthy newborn (0.5), pediatric acute/emergency care (1), genetics (1), child development (1), child neurology inpatient/consults (8), child neurology general outpatient (4), child psychiatry (1), adult neurology inpatient/consults (3), neurology specialties outpatient (4), electroencephalography (2), neuroradiology (1), and electives (7). Of the program directors (53 of 79, 67%) who completed the post-survey, 87% agreed that these requirements would be adequate, and 89% agreed that child neurologists could be adequately trained for independent practice within 4 years. Interpretation: The program director consensus supports modification of existing child neurology training requirements, with general agreement that 4 years of clinical training would be adequate.
