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

Background and Objectives: Neurologists, especially neurointensivists, may be expected to lead cardiac arrest resuscitations. However, neurocritical care (NCC) fellows may face barriers to acquiring the necessary skills and knowledge needed for successful leadership in these scenarios. Whether a simulation course created for one group of learners and applied in a new context (a "shared simulation") could facilitate acquisition of desired outcomes among neurology learners is unclear. Methods: In this prospective, pre-post educational intervention study, NCC fellows at 2 centers completed precourse knowledge and confidence assessments and reported barriers to resuscitation leadership. Fellows then led 2 simulated cases of cardiac arrest, initially developed for internal medicine residents with vignettes adapted to better reflect an NCC patient population. Postcourse knowledge and confidence assessments were administered immediately after the intervention and again one to 4 months later. Pre-, immediate post-, and delayed post-confidence and knowledge assessments were compared. Results: Thirteen NCC fellows participated in the study. Limited experience leading a resuscitation and not being preassigned the resuscitation leader role were the most highly cited barriers to leading resuscitations (n = 8/13, 61.5%). Lack of confidence and lack of knowledge were barriers for 38.5% (n = 5/13) and 22.2% (n = 2/9) of participants, respectively. Both confidence and knowledge scores improved on the immediate postassessments (5-point Likert median [IQR] 3.5 [3.1-3.9] vs 4.1 [4.0-4.7], Discussion: Shared simulation training improved learner confidence and knowledge in cardiac arrest resuscitation leadership and may yield similar benefits in other simulated scenarios. Low confidence, identified as a barrier to resuscitation leadership for over one-third of NCC fellows, was improved by brief simulation training.
