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.

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.

Abstract

purposeSimulation-based medical education (SBME) is provided by all anesthesiology residency programs in Canada. The purpose of this study was to characterize SBME in Canadian anesthesiology residency training programs.

methodsWe administered a 21-question survey to the simulation director/coordinator for all 17 Canadian academic departments of anesthesiology from October 2019 to January 2020. The survey consisted of questions pertaining to the characteristics of the simulation centres, their faculty, learners, curriculum, and assessment processes.

resultsAll 17 residency training programs participated in the survey and reported large variability in the number and formal training of simulation faculty and in content delivery. Five programs (29%) did not provide faculty recognition for curriculum design and running simulation sessions. Most programs offered one to four simulation sessions per academic year for each year of residency. All programs offered mannequin-based and part-task trainers for teaching technical and nontechnical skills. Fourteen programs (82%) offered interprofessional and interdisciplinary simulation sessions, and ten programs (59%) did not include in situ simulation training. Commonly reported barriers to faculty involvement were lack of protected time (12 programs, 71%), lack of financial compensation (ten programs, 59%), and lack of appreciation for SBME (seven programs, 41%).

conclusionLarge variability exists in the delivery of SBME in Canadian anesthesiology residency simulation programs, in part because of differences in financial/human resources and educational content. Future studies should explore whether training and patient outcomes differ between SBME programs and, if so, whether additional standardization is warranted.
