Implementation of hybrid simulation training to promote collective and self-efficacy in medical students: a two-pronged approach.

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
introductionSimulation-based training (SBT) is an integral and indispensable component of medical and healthcare education, especially pertinent in acute care. Conventional forms of SBT in acute care primarily involve manikins or task trainers, which are either costly or too task-specific. Recent innovations in virtual patient simulation software (VPS) invites the opportunity for conjoined use with basic manikins, creating a hybrid model for acute-care teaching. This study aimed to:
methodsA prospective cross-sectional cohort study was conducted between 22 September 2023, and 19 December 2023. Fifth year medical students in an undergraduate medicine program underwent hybrid SBT, incorporating VPS and basic manikin within two separate clinical scenarios. Primary outcome of CE and SE was measured using adapted versions of the
resultsData from 94 students were available for pairwise testing. Significant improvements were observed in the CE and SE of students after undergoing hybrid SBT [CE: (12.16 ± 3.86 vs 15.42 ± 2.87);
conclusionHybrid SBT facilitated by virtual patient simulator and basic manikin provides a moderate-cost and adaptable approach which positively impacted the CE and SE of medical students. As software development readily adapts in providing point-of-care learner feedback, hybrid SBT should become more widely implemented to fully harness its potential.
