The Success of a Simulation-Based Transesophageal Echocardiography Course for Liver Transplant Anesthesiologists.

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
introductionTransesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is increasingly used for intraoperative management during orthotopic liver transplantation. Proficient TEE use requires skill and knowledge to accurately assess the hemodynamic status and guide clinical management. Currently there are no TEE educational tracks specifically focused on perioperative liver transplant management and barriers to obtaining basic certification exist.
methodsA 4-hour simulation-based learning (SBL) course was provided to improve liver transplant anesthesiologist TEE knowledge and skill. Learners received training and education using a TEE simulator in small groups focusing on basic image acquisition, relevant anatomy, hemodynamic calculations, and pathology germane to the liver transplant period. Knowledge assessment and survey responses were assessed at the beginning and completion of the course. Learners completed TEE examinations with simulated pathology during high-fidelity simulations following the course.
resultsSeventeen anesthesiologists completed the course. The median baseline knowledge assessment score was 55.0% (37-70). The median postcourse knowledge assessment score improved to 95.0% (94-100) (
conclusionsA small group, simulation TEE course delivered over 4 hours can increase knowledge and skill in TEE use for liver transplant anesthesiologists.
