Pediatric Emergency Medicine Didactics and Simulation: JumpSTART Secondary Triage for Mass Casualty Incidents.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Mass casualty incidents (MCI), particularly involving pediatric patients, are high-risk, low-frequency occurrences that require exceptional emergency arrangements and advanced preparation. In the aftermath of an MCI, it is essential for medical personnel to accurately and promptly triage patients according to their acuity and urgency for care. As first responders bring patients from the field to the hospital, medical personnel are responsible for prompt secondary triage of these patients to appropriately delegate hospital resources. The JumpSTART triage algorithm (a variation of the Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment, or START, triage system) was originally designed for prehospital triage by prehospital providers but can also be used for secondary triage in the emergency department setting. This technical report describes a novel simulation-based curriculum for pediatric emergency medicine residents, fellows, and attendings involving the secondary triage of patients in the aftermath of an MCI in the emergency department. This curriculum highlights the importance of the JumpSTART triage algorithm and how to effectively implement it in the MCI setting.
