A Simulated Mass Casualty Incident Triage Exercise: SimWars.
Article in MedEdPORTAL : the journal of teaching and learning resources, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Introduction: This multipatient simulation exercise encompasses triage by hospital medical providers during a mass casualty incident (MCI) involving gas line explosion with building collapse. The SimWars format allows two teams to participate in identical simulations coupled with active audience observation, followed by facilitated group discussion. The exercise requires real-time knowledge application of MCI management and helps learners develop a framework for rapidly classifying and dispositioning MCI patients. Methods: Two teams of provider pairs completed MCI triage of 12 simulated patients in 8 minutes with an objective of quickly and accurately dispositioning within hospital bed availability. Participants included emergency medicine and surgery physicians, with active observation by mixed provider audiences. Observers completed a checklist per patient (category: urgent/emergent/not emergent, disposition: bed type/location). At simulation conclusion, a 45-minute facilitated discussion compared observers' self-assessment of MCI patient management with the simulation teams' decisions. Finally, an expert panel discussed management decisions and MCI triage pearls. Results: Team performances ( Discussion: The two-team format allows comparison of how different teams handle MCI triage, and active observation allows comparison of audience and team decision making.
