Effect of the Specific Training Course for Competency in Doing Arterial Blood Gas Sampling in the Intensive Care Unit: Developing a Standardized Learning Curve according to the Procedure's Time and Socioprofessional Predictors.
Trial report in BioMed research international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02830971 (Effect of Specific Training for Mastery in Doing Different Techniques in Intensive Care Unit), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 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

Abstract
backgroundStandardization of clinical practices is an essential part of continuing education of newly registered nurses in the intensive care unit (ICU). The development of educational standards based on evidence can help improve the quality of educational programs and ultimately clinical skills and practices.
objectivesThe objectives of the study were to develop a standardized learning curve of arterial blood gas (ABG) sampling competency, to design a checklist for the assessment of competency, to assess the relative importance of predictors and learning patterns of competency, and to determine how many times it is essential to reach a specific level of ABG sampling competency according to the learning curve.
designA quasi-experimental, nonrandomized, single-group trial with time series design.
methodsAt first, the primary checklist was prepared to assess the nurses' ABG sampling practices and it was finalized after three sessions of the expert panel. The checklist had three domains, including presampling, during sampling, and postsampling of ABG competency. Then, 56 nurses practiced ABG sampling step by step under the supervision of three observers who controlled the processes and they filled the checklists. The endpoint was considered reaching a 95 score on the learning curve. The Poisson regression model was used in order to verify the effective factors of ABG sampling competency. The importance of variables in the prediction of practice scores had been calculated in a linear regression of R software by using the relaimpo package.
resultsAccording to the results, in order to reach a skill level of 55, 65, 75, 85, and 95, nurses, respectively, would need average ABG practice times of 6, 6, 7, 7, and 7. In the linear regression model, demographic variables predict 47.65 percent of changes related to scores in practices but the extent of prediction of these variables totally decreased till 7 practice times, and in each practice, nurses who had the higher primary skill levels gained 1 to 2 skill scores more than those with low primary skills.
conclusionsUtilization of the learning curve could be helpful in the standardization of clinical practices in nursing training and optimization of the frequency of skills training, thus improving the training quality in this field. This trial is registered with NCT02830971.
