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

Translational Work Integrating Simulation and Systems Testing (TWISST) is a novel application of simulation that augments how we discover, understand, and mitigate errors in our system. TWISST is a diagnostic and interventional tool that couples Simulation-based Clinical Systems Testing with simulation-based training (SbT). TWISST tests environments and work systems to identify latent safety threats (LSTs) and process inefficiencies. In SbT, improvements made to the work system are embedded in hard wire system improvements, ensuring optimal integration into clinical workflow. Methods: Simulation-based Clinical Systems Testing approach includes simulated scenarios, Summarize, Anchor, Facilitate, Explore, Elicit debriefing, and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis. In iterative Plan-Simulate-Study-Act cycles, frontline teams explored work system inefficiencies, identified LSTs, and tested potential solutions. As a result, system improvements were hardwired through SbT. Finally, we present a case study example of the TWISST application in the Pediatric Emergency Department. Results: TWISST identified 41 latent conditions. LSTs were related to resource/equipment/supplies (n = 18, 44%), patient safety (n = 14, 34%), and policies/procedures (n = 9, 22%). Work system improvements addressed 27 latent conditions. System changes that eliminated waste or modified the environment to support best practices mitigated 16 latent conditions. System improvements that addressed 44% of LSTs cost the department $11,000 per trauma bay. Conclusions: TWISST is an innovative and novel strategy that effectively diagnoses and remediates LSTs in a working system. This approach couples highly reliable work system improvements and training into 1 framework.
