1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundMounting evidence supports the effective acquisition of skills through simulation-based training including intubation skills of neonates. Our aim is to compare the effect of using high- versus low-fidelity mannequin simulation-based training on the acquisition and retention of neonatal intubation skills by junior pediatric residents.

methodsRandomized controlled trial involving first- and second-year pediatric residents from two centers in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

resultsTwenty-eight junior pediatric residents (12 low- and 16 high-fidelity mannequins) completed the study. A significantly greater number of residents achieved and retained the required skills after completing the training course in both arms. There was no significant difference in the achieved skills between residents trained on high- versus low-fidelity mannequins at the baseline, immediately after training, and at 6-9 months after training.

conclusionSimulation-based training resulted in improving pediatric residents' intubation skills regardless of the level of fidelity.
