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

Background: Currently there is no consensus on ideal teaching method to train novice trainees in EBUS. Simulation-based procedure training allows direct observation of trainees in a controlled environment without compromising patient safety. Objective: We wanted to develop a comprehensive assessment of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) performance of pulmonary fellows and assess the impact of a multimodal simulation-based curriculum for EBUS-guided transbronchial needle aspiration. Methods: Pretest assessment of 11 novice pulmonary fellows was performed using a three-part assessment tool, measuring EBUS-related knowledge, self-confidence, and procedural skills. Knowledge was assessed by 20 multiple-choice questions. Self-confidence was measured using the previously validated EBUS-Subjective Assessment Tool. Procedural skills assessment was performed on Simbionix BRONCH Express simulator and was modeled on a previously validated EBUS-Skills and Task Assessment Tool (EBUS-STAT), to create a modified EBUS-STAT based on internal faculty input via the Delphi method. After baseline testing, fellows participated in a structured multimodal curriculum, which included simulator training, small-group didactics, and interactive problem-based learning sessions, followed by individual debriefing sessions. Posttest assessment using the same three-part assessment tool was performed after 3 months, and the results were compared to study the impact of the new curriculum. Results: The mean knowledge score improved significantly from baseline to posttest (52.7% vs. 67.7%; Conclusion: This study suggests a multimodal simulation-based curriculum can significantly improve EBUS-guided transbronchial needle aspiration-related knowledge, self-confidence, and procedural skills among novice pulmonary fellows. A validation study is needed to determine if skills attained via a simulator can be replicated in a clinical setting.
