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

Informed consent is an integral part of medical care and can be especially complicated in the care of the pediatric population where adult caregivers provide consent. Despite the complexity and importance required in obtaining parental consent, many healthcare trainees (students and residents) do not feel comfortable securing consent. Obtaining informed consent is often not a standard part of the medical education curriculum, which adds to this level of discomfort. This study measured communication outcomes during obtaining informed consent during a simulated ER setting for 200 medical professional students when given a structured didactic curriculum. Results showed that in comparing the groups of those who received the intervention after obtaining consent with those who obtained the intervention before the consent, an independent t-test revealed a statistically significant difference in scores between the groups who did not complete the education module before completing the simulation (n=42, mean = 0.627, s.d. = 0.127) and the groups who did receive the education model before completing the simulation (n=42, mean = 0.685, s.d. = 0.136),
