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: To evaluate the efficacy of a simulation-based mastery curriculum to train clinicians with limited-to-no sonography experience how to use ultrasound (US) to assess neonatal endotracheal tube (ETT) positioning. Methods: In a single-centered, prospective, educational study, 29 neonatology clinicians participated in a simulation-based mastery curriculum composed of a didactic lecture, followed by a one-on-one simulation session using a newly designed, three-dimensional (3D) printed US phantom model of the neonatal trachea and aorta. After mastery training, clinicians were evaluated with a performance checklist on their skills obtaining US images and assessing ETT positioning in the US phantom model. They also completed pre- and postcurriculum knowledge assessment tests and self-assessment surveys. The data were analyzed using Wilcoxon signed rank tests and repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: The mean checklist score improved significantly during three attempts (mean difference: 2.6552; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.2578-3.0525; Conclusion: Clinicians with limited-to-no sonography experience demonstrated improved knowledge and skill acquisition in using US to assess ETT positioning through simulation-based mastery training. The use of 3D modeling enhances simulation experiences and optimizes the quality of training during limited opportunities to achieve procedural competency in a controlled environment before further application into the clinical setting.
