Excellence by Design? Resident Doctors' Perceptions of Curriculum Transition.
Article in The Ulster medical journal, 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
Background: Resident doctors (RDs) transition to new training curricula on several occasions throughout their medical careers. We evaluated the perceptions of RDs who had transitioned to new training curricula. Methods: A qualitative approach was adopted to understand RDs' perceptions of curriculum transition (CT). RDs in stage two of internal medicine training (IMT) in Northern Ireland who had moved to a new training curriculum in the past 18 months were invited to participate in focus groups. Results: 16 RDs participated in four focus groups. Data were transcribed and underwent thematic analysis. RDs have high levels of uncertainty about their new training curricula. CT was found to have a negative emotional impact on RDs and be influenced by individual factors. Peer support was highly valued by RDs. RD-led solutions for improving CT were identified. Conclusions: RDs are significantly impacted by CT and have valuable insights into improving the process of CT.
