Using simulated bronchoscopy to improve training on intensive care units in a north London NHS trust.
Article in Future healthcare journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
Flexible bronchoscopy is a vital tool that is used for both diagnostic and therapeutic indications on the intensive care unit. During the COVID pandemic, training opportunities to perform such a skill were decreased and novel methods of teaching, including using bronchoscopy simulators, were explored out of necessity. The aim of this quality improvement project was to investigate how training on an intensive care unit prepared trainees for carrying out bronchoscopy, and whether a simulated bronchoscopy session with a high-fidelity simulator could be a useful adjunct to gain experience. Our pilot, although limited in patient numbers, suggested that current teaching methods might not be adequate for building trainee confidence and that a session with a bronchoscopy simulator could serve as a remedy to this with a significant increase in self-reported confidence. Moving forwards in a post-pandemic era, this serves as a lesson learnt from COVID and would benefit from further development in this area.
