Simulation to improve trainee knowledge and comfort in managing maternal cardiac arrest.
Article in AJOG global reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundMaternal cardiac arrest is a rare outcome, and thus there are limited opportunities for specialists in obstetrics and gynecology to acquire the skills required to respond to it through routine clinical practice.
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate gaps in medical education in maternal cardiac arrest and whether a simulation-based training program improves resident knowledge and comfort in the diagnosis and treatment of maternal cardiac arrest. STUDY
designA 2-hour training for obstetrics and gynecology residents at an academic medical center was conducted, consisting of a didactic presentation, defibrillator skills station, and 2 high-fidelity simulations. Consenting residents completed a 21-item pretest followed by a 12-item posttest exploring knowledge of and exposure to maternal cardiac arrest. The McNemar and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to compare pre- and posttest data.
resultsOf 21 residents, 15 (71.4%) had no previous education about maternal cardiac arrest, and 17 (81.0%) had never responded to a maternal code. Participants demonstrated increased knowledge about maternal cardiac arrest after the session, providing more correct answers on the reversible causes of pulseless electrical activity arrest (median 4 vs 7 correct responses;
conclusionResidents report limited exposure to maternal cardiac arrest and desire more training. Simulation-based training about maternal cardiac arrest is needed during residency to ensure that graduates are prepared to respond to this high-acuity event.
