Cardiac Simulator Technologies and Design for Medical Education and Auscultation Training: A Systematic Review.
Review in Bioengineering (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Medical simulators have revolutionized clinical training, particularly in teaching skills such as cardiac auscultation. This review synthesizes recent advances in the technological design and implementation of cardiac simulators for medical education, alongside scientometric and patentometric analyses. The focus is on innovations enhancing efficacy, safety, and accessibility. Analyses included 69 patents published over the past five years, sourced from Google Patents, Patentscope, Espacenet, and The Lens. A bibliometric analysis was performed using 52 scientific reports from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and The Lens within the same timeframe. Key findings indicate an 8% increase in AI-integrated cardiac auscultation devices compared to conventional equipment. Furthermore, 85% of the studies reported compliance with applicable regulations of at least 90%, reflecting improved regulatory alignment. This analysis provides a foundation for future research and the development of more accurate and accessible educational tools for cardiac auscultation training.
