Pediatric-Oncology Simulation Training for Resident Education.
Article in BMJ simulation & technology enhanced learning, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionWe sought to evaluate pediatric oncology simulations intended to improve pediatric residents' skills and comfort in caring for children with cancer.
methodIn a non-randomized trial, controls (the first three rotations) received a standard set of lectures, and the intervention arm received these lectures plus five simulation-training scenarios-fever/neutropenia, a new leukemia diagnosis, end-of-life care discussion, tumor lysis syndrome, and a mediastinal mass. All residents were tested after the rotation on the first three scenarios; management skills were evaluated independently by two raters. Before and after training, all residents completed an emotional-appraisal questionnaire evaluating each scenario as a perceived challenge or threat. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) measured differences by study arm in skills-checklist assessments and appraisals; repeated-measures ANOVA measured changes in emotional-appraisal scores.
resultsForty-two residents (9 control, 33 intervention) participated. Inter-rater agreement for skills-checklist scores using average-measures intraclass correlation was high (0.847), and overall mean scores were significantly higher for the intervention than control group across both raters (
conclusionsIt was feasible to introduce residents to difficult pediatric oncology scenarios using simulation. The intervention group performed more skills than controls when tested, and perceive threat declined in all residents after their pediatric oncology rotation.
