Virtual Reality Training for Pediatric Sedation Challenges: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 Teaching the management of pediatric sedation-related airway concerns is challenging due to the time-sensitive interventions required and their infrequent occurrence. Recognizing this educational gap in the sedation experience, virtual reality (VR) was utilized to prepare learners and provide an immersive training experience in a controlled environment. Methods We describe simulation-based training using a VR environment, Enduvo Inc., an innovative software for medical trainees. This two-hour course creates a problem-based learning experience, allowing learners to apply their knowledge and develop a framework for managing these stressful and less commonly encountered situations. Results From 2019 to 2022, 35 learners participated in the sedation course. After completing the VR modules, all learners completed a blinded survey on their experience and preparation for sedation-related situations. Based on our initial data, self-reported confidence and preparedness in handling complex situations during pediatric sedation rated high, with an overall response rate of 100%. Learners reported improved confidence and self-preparedness after completing the modules. Conclusion VR for pediatric sedation training creates a distinctive learning environment due to its immersive nature and has been well-received. VR could be an effective method for educating residents and physicians in this specialized field.
