SIMBA as an alternative and/or an adjunct to pre-medical work experience during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Article in Future healthcare journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Work experience is considered as a vital part of an application to medical school and other healthcare-related educational programmes. Gaining clinical work experience via various previously available opportunities from healthcare centres has currently become more challenging and less accessible due to the COVID-19 pandemic-related limitations and resource shortages. In order to provide experience in the healthcare field, we conducted a case study by inviting two secondary school students to participate in Simulation via Instant Messaging -Birmingham Advance (SIMBA) as moderators. Despite no previous clinical knowledge, they found it accessible and to be an excellent alternative to the more traditional types of work experience, which had become unavailable to them. We, therefore, propose SIMBA can act as an alternative and/or an adjunct to work experience for healthcare-related courses.
