Death of the paediatric manikin: a scoping review.
Article in BMJ paediatrics open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionWhether the manikin should die in simulation training is a controversial area, with some educators stating that manikin death is essential in providing realistic training, while others state that the psychological burden of manikin death could derail learning and impair psychological safety. This scoping review aims to explore the existing literature regarding death of the manikin in paediatric and neonatal simulation education.
methodsThe literature was searched for publications regarding paediatric and/or neonatal manikin death in simulation training. The same search strategy was used across MEDLINE (OVID), Embase (OVID), CINAHL (EBSCO) and PsycInfo (OVID) databases. Articles were screened against predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria.
results810 articles were identified. 807 were excluded (duplicates/did not meet criteria). Three articles were suitable for inclusion in the final review. Included studies were analysed using an inductive thematic analysis approach.
conclusionsThere is a paucity of research in this important area of simulation training. From the limited research available, the following themes were identified: death of the paediatric manikin can increase scenario realism; participation in paediatric manikin death scenarios was not more stressful than participating in standard simulation; and the debrief has a crucial role in mitigating the potentially negative impacts of paediatric manikin death for learners.Death of the paediatric and neonatal manikin can provide a beneficial educational experience for participants but requires considered and experienced facilitation.
