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

introductionSimulation-based education (SE) in interventional cardiology improves knowledge acquisition and mastery of procedures including the conventional radial access (CRA).

aimTo evaluate the contribution of SE in CRA compared with theoretical learning alone.

methodsThis is a prospective randomized controlled study including cardiology residents and patients with normal radial pulses. Experienced residents as well as patients with contraindications to CRA, requiring urgent intervention, or with hemodynamic instability were not included. Missing the teaching sessions was the exclusion criteria. Residents were randomized into two groups: simulation versus control. They attended a theory lecture explaining CRA and were evaluated Only the simulation group attended an SE session with measurement of heart rate (HR) and stress level. A real application was then performed with measurement of HR and stress level. The primary outcome was success puncture rate.

resultsThe success of the puncture was similar between the two groups (p=0.651). In the practical application, the stress level was significantly different before the procedure but similar after the end of the procedure. The stress level varied significantly within the same group before and after the procedure The simulation group was significantly less tachycardic both before and during the procedure with a significant difference between the two groups (p <10-3).

conclusionThis study demonstrated the interest of SE in novice residents for CRA as a complement to theoretical learning upstream of the real-life procedure.
