360 virtual reality pediatric mass casualty incident: A cross sectional observational study of triage and out-of-hospital intervention accuracy at a national conference.
Article in Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians open, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
objectiveWith adolescent mass casualty incidents (MCI) on the rise, out-of-hospital readiness is critical to optimize disaster response. We sought to test the feasibility and acceptability of a 360 Virtual Reality (360 VR) platform for disaster event decisionmaking.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional observational assessment of a subject's ability to triage and perform out-of-hospital interventions using a 360 VR MCI module. A convenience sample of attendees was recruited over 1.5 days from the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) national conference in San Diego, CA.
resultsTwo hundred and seven (207) subjects were enrolled. Ninety-six (46%) subjects identified as attendings, 66 (32%) as residents, 13 (6%) as medical students, 4 (2%) as emergency medical technicians and 28 (14%) as other. When comparing mean scores between groups, physicians who were <40 years old had mean scores higher than physicians who were >40 years old (8.7 vs 6.5,
conclusionWe conclude that 360 VR is a feasible platform for assessing triage and intervention decisionmaking for adolescent MCIs. It is well received by subjects and may have a role as a training and education tool for disaster readiness. In this era of distanced learning, 360 VR is an attractive option for future immersive educational experiences.
