Novel Use of a Simulation in Pediatric Type 1 Diabetes Sick-Day Education for Patients and Caregivers.

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
objectiveManagement of type 1 diabetes during illness confers risk for serious harm because sick days happen infrequently, management is complex and multistep, and errors can result in diabetic ketoacidosis and hospitalization. Simulation offers a safe, experiential learning environment in which to practice skills with the goal of identifying and closing knowledge gaps. We hypothesized that simulation of sick-day scenarios with patients and caregivers via video conference could be used to assess knowledge of sick-day management for type 1 diabetes and determine the availability of necessary supplies at home. RESEARCH DESIGN AND
methodsOur study included development of performance-based, scripted sick-day scenarios; selection and training of content experts as simulation facilitators; piloting and iterative revision of scenarios; and implementation of simulation sessions. Five distinct scenarios were created for either insulin injections or continuous insulin pump therapy. Each participant was block randomized to receive three of the five scenarios. Participant performance was measured by categorizing actions as most desired, less desired, or incorrect.
resultsTen caregivers and two young adults with type 1 diabetes participated in 12 simulations, representing 14 individuals with type 1 diabetes. The most common category of less desired and incorrect processes chosen by participants was ketone management.
conclusionSimulation-based training for sick-day management is a feasible, interactive form of education for people with type 1 diabetes and caregivers. Video conferences allowed firsthand observation of supplies and resources available to families at home. Participant understanding of sick-day management will inform future interventions to address challenges with ketone management and recognition of diabetes technology issues when caring for an ill child with type 1 diabetes.
