Improved Paediatric Procedural Competence and Knowledge After Training Using a Newborn Piglet Model.
Article in Acta paediatrica (Oslo, Norway : 1992), 2026. 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
aimTraining complex paediatric procedural skills is essential for patient safety. Clinical learning opportunities are rare, and a live model offers realistic tissue with a dynamic physiology. We aimed to develop and evaluate a procedural skills course using a newborn piglet model for trainees in paediatrics.
methodsWe designed four modules with learning goals, procedural checklists and learning outcome assessment. Eight courses were held including 23 junior trainee doctors, 34 experienced trainees and four neonatal specialist doctors.
resultsMost procedures were successfully completed by all trainees. Mean multiple-choice test scores improved 36% (95% confidence interval [CI] 31-41) after the intervention. Self-rated competence improved 78% in junior and 65% in experienced trainees (95% CI: 62-93 and 53-77). Experienced trainees improved most in difficult skills such as chest tube placement and endotracheal intubation. Junior trainees improved most in basic skills such as umbilical catheter placement. All modules received high scores for clinical relevance and transferability.
conclusionWe established a procedural skills course that improved test scores and self-rated procedural competence. Participants reported a high degree of transferability to actual clinical procedures.
