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

backgroundThe potential for life-threatening allergic reactions in elementary schoolchildren has emerged as a major problem. There are, however, concerns about whether school nurses have the necessary competencies to respond to such emergency situations. This study developed simulation-based anaphylaxis training (SBAT) and online-based anaphylaxis training (OBAT) programs and compared their efficacy for improving elementary school nurses' competencies in emergencies involving life-threatening anaphylactic events.

methodsThis is a quasi-experimental study. The sample comprised 40 and 47 elementary school nurses placed in the SBAT and OBAT groups, respectively. The effects of the intervention were analyzed using independent t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, Wilcoxon signed-rank test and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA)

resultsThe pre-post differences were significantly higher in the SBAT group compared to the OBAT group in terms of knowledge (1.97 ± 1.21 vs. 0.87 ± 1.37; p < 0.001), self-efficacy (7.50 ± 6.37 vs. 3.42 ± 4.47, p = 0.005), perceived performance competency in emergency care (4.11 ± 3.73 vs. - 0.76 ± 3.40; p < 0.001), and critical thinking (7.02 ± 10.36 vs. 2.40 ± 8.03, p = 0.031). A within-group comparison of the SBAT group showed that all outcome measures significantly improved (p < 0.001). However, in the OBAT group, only knowledge (p < 0.001) and self-efficacy (p < 0.001) significantly improved from the pretest.

conclusionsCompared with OBAT, the SBAT program was more suitable for enhancing the perceived performance competency and critical thinking of elementary school nurses in emergency anaphylactic care. Therefore, school nursing trainers are advised to incorporate SBAT into continuing education programs for school nurses.
