The combined application of Mini-CEX and Check-list Scales in enhancing clinical competence among emergency and critical care residents: a comparative study.

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
Objectives: This study aims to explore the value of integrating the Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise (Mini-CEX) and Check-list Scales in the training of emergency and critical care residents. The study evaluates the effectiveness of these tools in enhancing clinical diagnostic skills, improving teaching outcomes, and optimizing clinical processes. Methods: This study included 199 emergency and critical care residents who completed their training between January 2018 and April 2024. A paired study design was employed to evaluate the effectiveness of the combined use of the Mini-CEX and Check-list Scales. Initially, all participants used the Mini-CEX to assess their performance during clinical diagnosis and treatment (control group). After training with the Check-list Scales, the same participants underwent a second assessment using the Mini-CEX scale (experimental group). Data were analyzed using various statistical methods, including chi-square tests for categorical data, Results: The combination of Mini-CEX and Check-list significantly improved clinical competencies across several domains. In the control group, the overall failure rate was 2.513%, the pass rate was 70.352%, and the excellence rate was 27.136%. In contrast, the experimental group showed a reduction in the failure rate to 0%, with a pass rate of 19.598% and an excellence rate of 80.402%. The Mini-CEX scores in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( Conclusion: The integration of the Mini-CEX and Check-list significantly enhances the diagnostic and clinical skills of emergency medicine residents. This combined approach addresses the limitations of traditional training methods and provides an effective model for improving medical education and the quality of care for critically ill patients.
