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

In situ simulation is the practice of using simulated scenarios in a clinical environment itself rather than in training facilities to promote learning and improved clinical care. The use of in situ simulation has been increasingly used to train healthcare staff in dealing with emergencies, resuscitation and clinical skills. The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the themes, perspectives and approaches to in situ simulation for educational purposes with healthcare staff. The literature search included studies describing and evaluating in situ simulations with an educational component. We carried out a narrative synthesis and extracted data on the clinical setting, the simulation purpose, design, evaluation method and impact. In situ simulation has proved useful in a range of different specialties for skills improvement and team development. Simulation design ranges in terms of fidelity, duration and topic. No specific design has shown to be the most efficient. However, adopting a design that fits into the specific centers resources, educational needs and clinical demands is the most important consideration.
