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

backgroundProficient management of noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) demands competence, coupled with their seamless mobilization in clinical practice in managing respiratory failure. The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the rapid integration of less experienced professionals and nursing students into Intensive Care Units (ICUs), highlighting a need for efficient NIMV training. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a theoretical-practical training and simulation-based educational strategy in improving NIMV knowledge and clinical competence.

methodTeaching sessions were conducted between April and June 2021. Participants underwent a 3-h theoretical-practical session followed by a 1.5-h simulation. Knowledge acquisition was assessed using an ad hoc multiple-choice test. Separately, self-perceived competence was evaluated using the validated COM-VA questionnaire at three time points: preintervention, posttheoretical-practical formation and postsimulation. Nonparametric statistical tests were used to analyse the changes in knowledge and competence.

resultsThe study included 66 participants (30 students and 36 professionals) and found significant improvements in both knowledge and self-perceived competence across the educational intervention. Knowledge test scores rose from 82.2% preintervention to 90.2% postsimulation (p < 0.05). Median COM-VA scores also significantly increased from 6.82 (IQR = 1.33) preintervention to 7.38 (IQR = 1.45) postsimulation (p < 0.001). While the theoretical-practical session led to the largest knowledge gain, simulation provided additional benefit.

conclusionA combined theoretical-practical and simulation-based educational intervention demonstrated effectiveness in significantly enhancing the knowledge and self-perceived clinical competence of nursing students and professionals in our study group in NIMV management. This rapid and effective training strategy has important implications for preparing healthcare personnel, particularly during emergency situations like the COVID-19 pandemic, potentially contributing to improved patient safety.
