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

backgroundImproving the resuscitation and teamwork skills of residents is key to better outcomes of in-hospital cardiac arrest events. This study aims to explore the effects of regular low-dose simulation combined with a booster workshop on the progression and retention of resuscitation skills and teamwork among residents.

methodsThis comparative study took place at a teaching hospital in Northern Taiwan from August 2019 to June 2021. Residents were divided into two groups: the control group received regular low-dose simulation with faculty-led debriefing at the 1st, 6th, and 11th months, while the intervention group participated in an additional 3-hour simulation workshop one week before the 6th-month scenario. The workshop focused on resuscitation and teamwork skills. The study evaluated medical task performance, teamwork, patient safety attitudes, and timing of key resuscitation actions through standardized simulation scenarios, with the assessments occurring at the 1st, 6th, and 11th months (pre-test, mid-test, post-test, respectively).

resultsOutcome measures in medical task performance and team leader behavior showed statistically significant improvement in both groups (p < 0.05) from pre-test to mid-test. After the intervention, the exposure group demonstrated significantly better results in medical task performance, team leader behavior, patient safety attitudes, and the timing of chest compression initiation compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Five months after the intervention, a significant decline in most measured outcomes was observed in the exposure group (p < 0.05). Despite this decline, the exposure group still performed significantly higher than the control group across most measured outcomes.

conclusionsThis study demonstrates the potential and advantages of integrating simulation-based training into the clinical training curriculum for residents to improve medical task performance and teamwork behaviors for handling in-hospital cardiac arrest scenarios. The observed decline in skills over time supports the inclusion of regular refresher courses to maintain and advance these vital competencies.
