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

Audience: This is a combined independent study and simulation session designed to teach and drill Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) Triage and is intended for emergency medicine residents at all levels. Introduction: The training of emergency medicine residents to assume leadership roles in disaster response is important. However, lack of accepted specific educational goals on the national level leads to significant variability between residencies. Educational Objectives: The purpose of this session is to train EM residents in the use of the Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment (START) and pediatric JumpSTART algorithms for triage in mass casualty incidents (MCIs) using an asynchronous model. By the end of this small group session, learners will be able to: 1) describe START triage for adult MCI victims; 2) describe JumpSTART triage for pediatric MCI victims; 3) demonstrate the ability to apply the START and JumpSTART triage algorithms in a self-directed learning environment; 4) demonstrate the ability to apply the START and JumpSTART triage algorithms in a simulated mass casualty scenario under time constraints; and 5) demonstrate appropriate use of acute life-saving interventions as dictated by the START and JumpSTART triage algorithms in a high-pressure simulated environment. Educational Methods: This session utilizes an online independent study module that was created Research Methods: Learner feedback was collected after completion of the session. Retention of learning objectives was tested at four months via multiple-choice quiz. Results: The session was very well received by our residents, who appreciated the opportunity to practice applying START triage under pressure. The average score on the pretest was 49%. Response rates to the post-test were low, but residents scored an average of 73%, indicating a trend towards retention of learning objectives. Discussion: Overall, the utilization of a Topics: Mass casualty, MCI, triage, START triage, JumpSTART Triage, disaster, disaster preparedness, disaster curriculum, prehospital, EMS.
