The Modified, Multi-patient Observed Simulated Handoff Experience (M-OSHE): Assessment and Feedback for Entering Residents on Handoff Performance.

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
backgroundDespite the identification of transfer of patient responsibility as a Core Entrustable Professional Activity for Entering Residency, rigorous methods to evaluate incoming residents' ability to give a verbal handoff of multiple patients are lacking.
aimOur purpose was to implement a multi-patient, simulation-based curriculum to assess verbal handoff performance.
settingGraduate Medical Education (GME) orientation at an urban, academic medical center.
participantsEighty-four incoming residents from four residency programs participated in the study. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The curriculum featured an online training module and a multi-patient observed simulated handoff experience (M-OSHE). Participants verbally "handed off" three mock patients of varying acuity and were evaluated by a trained "receiver" using an expert-informed, five-item checklist. PROGRAM EVALUATION: Prior handoff experience in medical school was associated with higher checklist scores (23% none vs. 33% either third OR fourth year vs. 58% third AND fourth year, p = 0.021). Prior training was associated with prioritization of patients based on acuity (12% no training vs. 38% prior training, p = 0.014). All participants agreed that the M-OSHE realistically portrayed a clinical setting.
conclusionsThe M-OSHE is a promising strategy for teaching and evaluating entering residents' ability to give verbal handoffs of multiple patients. Prior training and more handoff experience was associated with higher performance, which suggests that additional handoff training in medical school may be of benefit.
