Pilot Study of a Modified DOPS Scale for Insulin Pump and CGM Installation Training in Chinese Medical Students During Endocrinology Rotations.

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
Background: Direct Observation of Procedural Skills (DOPS) is a clinical assessment tool that enables trainers to observe medical students' procedural abilities in real-time clinical settings. It assesses students' knowledge application, decision-making, and skill proficiency during clinical tasks. Methods: This study modifies the DOPS to evaluate the operation of insulin pumps (PUMP) and continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMS) in diabetes management. Key elements of the modified DOPS include 1) Knowledge Assessment: Evaluating understanding of PUMP and CGMS, including interpreting CGMS data for insulin adjustments; 2) Operational Skills: Assessing correct PUMP needle insertion, programming, and adjustments; 3) Patient Safety: Ensuring safe and aseptic procedures; 4) Feedback: Providing constructive feedback to help students improve their skills. Results: Training through DOPS led to significant improvements in all domains, overall performance scores, and reduced execution time for each domain. Correlations between domains showed that PUMP indication scores were linked to all other domains and execution times, including re-evaluation. Communication skills and seeking assistance were crucial factors influencing other domains. Multilinear regression analysis revealed that while DOPS-CGMS (R square 1.0) fully explained performance scores, DOPS-PUMP (R square 0.984) indicated that additional personal qualities significantly impacted students' PUMP operation performance. Conclusion: This customized DOPS form offers insights into students' abilities in managing diabetes with PUMP and CGMS, while emphasizing the need for training on both technical skills and interpersonal skills in future educational models.
