Effectiveness and perception of demonstration-observation- assistance-performance (DOAP) versus video-assisted learning (VAL) in training advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) among medical interns - A comparative study.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundDemonstration-Observation-Assistance-Performance (DOAP) and Video-Assisted Learning (VAL) are small-group teaching/learning methods (TLM) in medical education. Comparison studies between the two are scanty. There is a gap in knowledge, skills, and attitude among medical interns toward Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). The author studied the effectiveness of DOAP and VAL in training ACLS using mannequins and automated external defibrillator (AED)-simulators among interns in 2021. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis descriptive study was done in the Emergency Department of a tertiary teaching hospital in South India. Out of 80 medical interns, 39 and 41 were allocated to ACLS training by DOAP (Group 1) and VAL (Group 2), respectively, by convenient sampling with random allocation, with the use of mannequins and AED-Simulators (10 interventions in each small group; three-five participants in each session). Pre-validated pre-test and posttest multiple-choice questionnaires (MCQs) and attitude questionnaires, OSCE by two blinded assessors, and perception by Likert-based questionnaire were analyzed with appropriate statistical analysis.
resultsThe mean pretest and posttest MCQs and Attitude and OSCE scores of DOAP and VAL showed no statistically significant difference between them (MCQ pre-test 44.51 (11.43); 42.54 (6.56);
conclusionBoth DOAP and VAL were equally effective TLMs in imparting knowledge, skills, and attitude to medical interns with positive feedback. In DOAP, the learner performs under supervision and clarifies doubts. As repeatable and cost-effective, VAL is useful in resource-limited settings. Both can be used as complementary methods in training ACLS. The attitude of learners towards ACLS improved with training.
