Implementation of a Virtual Escape Room Into a Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellows National Course: A Pilot Study.

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
Background: Escape Rooms in medical education have been shown to improve learner satisfaction and reinforce knowledge in pulmonary and critical care medicine, yet virtual escape rooms (VER) as instructional strategies have remained understudied. Objective: We aimed to evaluate participants' perception and knowledge acquisition after completing a VER as part of a national fellows' course. Methods: We designed a prospective study conducted during the 2022 CHEST Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Fellow's Virtual course. This was a 2-day back-to-back national course targeting pulmonary and critical care fellows. The course had 5 virtual and 1 VER session, each lasting 50 min. A pre- and post-course knowledge assessment included 9 clinical questions (1 for each of the 5 virtual sessions and 4 for the VER session). A summative score and an individual session score were obtained. Participant's VER perceptions were analyzed using a 5-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree). Results: Fifty-nine (34.5%) of the 165-course participants completed the pre-test, and 29 (17.8%) completed the post-course test. Higher clinical knowledge assessment total score and VER scores were seen in the post-test compared to the pre-test (77.8 ± 14.9 vs 59.6 ± 23.1 Conclusions: Implementing an educational VER in a national pulmonary and critical care fellows' virtual course may promote knowledge acquisition and could potentially lead to a positive perception among participants. Longitudinal studies in various contexts are required to further elucidate direct causality between gamification and learner centric outcomes.
