Development, Evaluation, and Implementation of a Cost-Effective, Novel Lateral Canthotomy Simulation Model for Training Emergency Medicine Physicians.

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
This study proposes a new, low-cost lateral canthotomy simulation model for the purpose of improving training among emergency medicine physicians. This model is important for the rehearsal and honing of skills necessary in such a critical procedure, in cases where this procedure needs to be done in a sensitive situation where an ophthalmologist is not readily available. We surveyed 15 emergency residents before and after the training on comfort and proficiency in performing lateral canthotomy with a standardized Likert scale. Results show a significant increase in comfort and familiarity with the procedure post training, with average comfort levels increasing from 2.4 at pre-training to approximately 3.87 at post training. These findings would, therefore, indicate that the novel simulation model effectively bridges the proficiency gap and should then translate into better preparedness with the potential to improve patient outcomes in emergency settings.
