1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo determine the feasibility and effectiveness of a video-enabled remote simulation training program to teach a systematic, standardized approach to the evaluation and management of the critically ill patients as part of an international quality improvement intervention. PATIENTS AND

methodsIn this pilot "train-the-trainer" prospective cohort study, we provided a remote simulation-based educational program for practicing clinicians from intensive care units involved in an international quality improvement project (www.icertain.org). Between February 21, 2014, and August 6, 2015, participants completed a self-guided online curriculum and participated in structured simulation training using web conference software with recording capabilities. The performance was assessed using a matched pair analysis at baseline and using standardized scenarios and a validated assessment tool postintervention. Participants rated their satisfaction with the training experience and confidence in implementing these skills in clinical practice.

resultsEighteen local champions from 8 hospitals in 7 countries in Asia, Europe, and South and Central America completed the educational program. Learners exhibited significant improvements in cumulative critical task performance during simulated critical care scenarios with training (60.3%-81.8%;

conclusionInsufficient training is a major barrier to the delivery of cost-effective critical care in many areas of the world. Video-enabled remote simulation training is a low-cost, feasible, and effective method to disseminate clinical skills to critical care practitioners in diverse international settings.
