Using socially distanced and online simulation training to improve the confidence of junior doctors in psychiatry.

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
AIMS AND
methodThe authors designed and delivered simulation training to improve the confidence and competence of junior doctors beginning work in psychiatry. Junior doctors completed various simulated psychiatry scenarios while receiving personalised feedback and teaching from their peers in online or socially distanced settings. Learners rated their confidence in psychiatry skills pre- and post-session, and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were conducted to detect statistically significant differences. Qualitative feedback was analysed thematically.
resultsTwenty-one junior doctors attended the training. There were statistically significant ( CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Near-peer simulation teaching, delivered both in person and online, is effective at improving junior doctors' confidence in psychiatry. Delivering this training during placement induction could help to ensure adequate preparation of, and support for, new doctors.
