Impact of simulation-based training on difficult airway management among anesthesia trainees and nurses as real team.
Article in Journal of anaesthesiology, clinical pharmacology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background and Aims: Difficult airway management is a critical skill requiring quick decision-making and effective team coordination. However, healthcare workers often lack real-life experience due to rarity of such instances. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of simulation-based training for difficult airway management on real teams. Material and Methods: A prospective quasi-experimental study was conducted with 24 participants divided into six teams, each comprising three resident doctors and one staff nurse. An initial baseline simulation (S0) was conducted, followed by didactic sessions and skill training. Subsequent simulation sessions were carried out two weeks after the skill training (S1) and again six months later (S2). The primary objective was to evaluate the improvement in skills of real teams by comparing checklist scores. Simultaneously, retention of these skills and behaviour changes in real-world clinical practice were also assessed. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Notable improvement in team performance was observed during post-skill training simulations compared to baseline, as demonstrated by a significant increase in technical and non-technical skill scores [mean (SD): 26.7 (6.3) at S0 to 67.8 (7.3) at S1; Conclusions: This single-institute multi-professional team training resulted in significant improvement and retention of technical and non-technical skills of real teams in managing difficult airway.
