Development of practical emergency simulation training in primary health care: Lessons learnt.
Article in African journal of primary health care & family medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Emergency care in the primary health care setting is often sub-optimal leading to physician stress and adverse patient outcomes. Formal training opportunities in the management of emergency management are limited in public-sector facilities. Two family physicians conducted emergency simulation drills at primary health care facilities to address this need. The multi-disciplinary team at these facilities were involved, and each drill was followed by reflection and feedback. The drill evolved over an 18 month period, and the simulations as well as the feedback process were reviewed and improved. Reported benefits included improved skills and confidence, teamwork and sharing of information. Staff appreciated the support and the opportunity to review emergency equipment and drugs. Recommendations based on the experience gained and the outcomes of the simulation training include that the feedback is just as important as the simulations and that clinicians need to be trained in order to facilitate simulations successfully.
