Pediatric Critical Event Debriefing in Emergency Medicine Training: An Opportunity for Educational Improvement.
Article in AEM education and training, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
introductionIn the emergency department (ED), critical events, including death and severe illness, are not uncommon. Critical events involving children, while less frequent, may be especially distressing. Debriefing following a critical event may serve several purposes: review of team performance, education, identification of errors, emotional support, and planning for future events. Debriefing skills and habits learned during training may be carried forward throughout an emergency physician's career. This study evaluates how educators in emergency medicine (EM) view debriefing after pediatric critical events and identifies barriers to use of debriefing in postgraduate training programs.
methodsIn this cross-sectional observational study, we surveyed program directors (PDs) from EM residency and pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) fellowship programs via e-mail listserv. A panel of PEM experts and survey methodologists designed the survey, which was reviewed for content validity by an independent panel of EM educators. We obtained data on current debriefing practices following pediatric critical events, PDs' perceptions of ideal debriefing practices, and barriers to implementation. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
resultsA total of 109 PDs completed the survey (45% overall response rate). All respondents feel that debriefing pediatric critical events is useful. The majority of debriefings are initiated and led by emergency physicians as informal meetings shortly following a critical event. Debriefings are most commonly held following a patient death, although PDs feel that debriefings should also occur for other specific patient scenarios (e.g., child abuse). Barriers to debriefing include timing, scheduling, location, discomfort with debriefing, participant buy-in, and leader buy-in.
conclusionsProgram leaders in both EM and PEM believe that debriefing after pediatric critical events is important for training. Barriers to debriefing specific to the ED setting should be explored to optimize the implementation of this practice.
