A novel simulation competition format as an effective instructional tool in post-graduate medical education.
Article in Advances in simulation (London, England), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveMedical simulation competitions are a growing reality. This study aims at exploring if a novel format of simulation competition (SIMCUP) can be an effective educational format in post-graduate education.
designWe designed a 2-day event that included scientific educational lectures, an orientation to the competition, familiarization with the simulation lab, and competition time. Day 1 was devoted to preliminary rounds and was structured using an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE)-like system. On day 2, the first four teams advanced to semi-finals and then to finals, which were held using a classical SimWars style. SETTING AND SUBJECTS: A total of 14 four-participant teams participated in the event over two editions (Ed.1 in 2015 and Ed.2 in 2016).
interventionsExternal referees evaluated both technical and non-technical skills for each simulated scenario. Each participant was also administered pre- and post-test questionnaires covering self-perception about the confidence in managing simulated clinical cases, educational effectiveness, satisfaction with the simulation experience, and previous simulation training. MAIN
resultsOverall participants found SIMCUP a useful learning experience, rating it 10 [9, 10] and 10 [7.75-10] out of 10 for Ed.1 and Ed.2, respectively. Participants reported, using a 10-point semantic differential scale ranging from "1 - strongly disagree." to "10 - strongly agree," finding both days to be educationally effective: day 1 was rated 9 [7-10] and 9 [8-10] as day 2 was rated 8 [7-10] and 8 [7-10] for Ed. 1 and Ed. 2, respectively.Participants' self-perception regarding the confidence of managing the specific scenarios significantly improved immediately after the event as measured by pre- and post-questionnaires for all stations and during both editions.
conclusionThis study suggests that simulation competition can serve as an effective instructional format in residency training.
