Collaborative framework for working with older simulated participants (SP).
Article in BMJ simulation & technology enhanced learning, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Introduction: As the global population ages, healthcare providers must prepare for the complexities associated with caring for older adults, defined according to the WHO, as being over the age of 60. Simulation-based education in healthcare allows caregivers to practice and master skills and competencies associated with care of older adults. Method: SP educators from two different countries, with diverse backgrounds and contexts, collaborated through an iterative, consensus-based process to create a framework for working with older SPs. Results: A practical three-phase framework with specific strategies was developed that synthesised elements of best practices related to simulation methodology with relevant clinical evidence. Discussion: Effective collaboration with older SPs is achievable through investing resources in preparing, training and ensuring their well-being. Through faculty development of healthcare simulation educators, we can ensure that older SPs and simulation communities have the right tools and support to safely and effectively contribute to simulation-based education.
