Enhancing Pediatric Residency Training Through Peer-Education Based Gamified Simulation.

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
The reduction in clinical rotation hours, particularly in high-demand pediatric subspecialties such as Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) and Pediatric Emergency Rooms (ER), has highlighted the need for innovative approaches to enhance pediatric residency education. A 2019 survey of Italian pediatric residency programs revealed that most residents receive fewer than five hours of simulation-based training annually, with 66% participating in no simulation activities. Additionally, pediatric ER rotation hours have seen significant reductions-daytime rotations decreased by 29%, while nighttime rotations were reduced by 60% over the past four years at the University of Genoa. These challenges emphasize the importance of simulation-based curricula to address gaps in clinical exposure.This study presents a gamified simulation-based curriculum developed at the University of Genoa, designed to improve both technical and non-technical competencies among pediatric residents while compensating for reduced clinical exposure. The curriculum spans five years, with Year 1 focusing on foundational skills such as airway management, vascular access, and diagnostic techniques. Year 2 introduces more advanced scenarios like neonatal resuscitation, shock management, and cardiac arrest, while Years 3-5 culminate in high-fidelity simulations involving complex trauma and crisis resource management.Throughout the program, gamification elements such as badges, leaderboards, and team-based rewards enhance engagement, motivation, and participation. These elements provide feedback and foster progression, reinforcing residents' commitment to mastering technical skills and non-technical competencies like teamwork, leadership, and decision-making. By combining simulation-based training with gamification, this curriculum offers an innovative approach to residency education, preparing pediatric residents for real-world challenges and developing essential skills for high-stakes pediatric care.
