Difference in postcourse knowledge and confidence between Web-based and on-site training courses on resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta.
Article in Acute medicine & surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimEffective courses are essential for highly invasive procedures such as resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta. However, the coronavirus disease pandemic has forced the postponement of on-site educational courses due to transmission concerns. Few studies have examined the effectiveness of Web-based education in highly invasive procedures. To address this knowledge gap, this study aimed to investigate whether knowledge acquisition and confidence after the Web-based course are different from those acquired after the on-site course, using pre- and postcourse test scores.
methodsThe increase in scores before and after the course was compared between the on-site and Web-based courses. The questions reflected knowledge about seven different topics in the course modules. In addition, participants were asked about their self-rated confidence about three topics before and after the course.
resultsThirty learners completed the on-site course, and 21 learners completed the Web-based course. Forty-seven learners completed both the precourse and postcourse tests. In both courses, the difference between the precourse and postcourse test scores showed a statistically significant increase in knowledge (on-site course: increased score, 1.8; 95% confidence interval, 0.8 to 2.8; Web-based course: increased score, 1.6, 95% confidence interval, 0.5 to 2.5). However, the difference was not statistically significant in the self-rated confidence scores about "sheath and catheter removal" among learners of the Web-based course.
conclusionKnowledge increased significantly in both the on-site and Web-based courses. However, the Web-based course might not be sufficient to give learners confidence in the procedures.
