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

backgroundThe ABCDEF bundle improves outcomes of patients in the intensive care unit, but its adoption remains low worldwide due to multiple implementation barriers. Interprofessional simulation training may help facilitate ABCDEF bundle implementation.

objectivesTo evaluate the feasibility of an interprofessional simulation-based training to facilitate ABCDEF bundle implementation.

methodsA 90-minute interprofessional training program was designed and implemented. Each simulation started with a deeply sedated patient receiving mechanical ventilation, and interprofessional learners assessed sedation and delirium, conducted spontaneous awakening trials, managed delirium and agitation using multicomponent nonpharmacologic interventions, and mobilized the patient out of bed. Feasibility of the training was evaluated by using a participant survey on simulation experiences and measuring participants' attitudes toward ABCDEF bundle implementation before and after training.

resultsSixteen clinicians from different disciplines and with various years of intensive care unit experience participated. Most participants agreed that the simulation was realistic, relevant, important to practice, and stress provoking and would improve their clinical performance. After the training, participants reported increased comfort and willingness to perform spontaneous awakening trials, comfort in managing patients with delirium and agitation, and confidence in collaborating with other team members to mobilize patients receiving mechanical ventilation out of bed.

conclusionsThe interprofessional simulation training was feasible and well accepted and increased positive attitudes toward ABCDEF bundle implementation.
