The effectiveness and perceived value of feedback used in cardiac arrest simulation education: a mixed-method systematic review.
Synthesis in Scandinavian journal of trauma, resuscitation and emergency medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectivesThis review evaluated the effectiveness and perceived value of feedback methods in cardiac arrest simulation-based education for healthcare, nursing, medical students and professionals.
methodsA mixed-method systematic review was conducted, incorporating quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method studies on feedback provided before, during, or after cardiac arrest simulations. Studies focusing on non-cardiac arrest simulations, not focusing on feedback outcomes, or reporting on real cardiac arrest experiences were excluded. A convergent integrated approach to data synthesis was used, with quantitative findings "qualitised" and a qualitative content analysis providing a narrative synthesis.
resultsOut of 3455 articles screened, 203 were assessed for eligibility, and 160 were included (154 quantitative, 3 qualitative, 3 mixed method). Three themes emerged regarding feedback effectiveness and value in cardiac arrest simulation education. All feedback, whether human or device-based, improves performance. However, objective, device-based feedback is preferred. Current literature primarily focuses on technical skills measured by quantitative methods, with limited research on non-technical aspects and qualitative explorations of participant experiences.
conclusionFeedback in cardiac arrest simulation education is just as important as the simulation itself and should align with the learner's educational objectives. There is a notable underreporting of integral non-technical aspects of cardiac arrest management and the use of appropriate use of qualitative methodologies to investigate them. To gain the necessary insights into both the technical and non-technical skill acquisition recommended in resuscitation guidelines, future research needs to integrate quantitative and qualitative approaches.
