Effect of simulation-based stratified first aid training on physicians: a cohort study stratified by clinical working time and disciplinary background.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundRecognizing deteriorated vital signs and handling acute illness appropriately is crucial for hospitalized patients. However, healthcare professionals often face criticism for inadequate first aid skills. We aim to evaluate the teaching effect of simulation-based stratified first aid skills training on physicians.
methodsA cohort study was conducted with 263 physicians as participants. They were stratified into three levels (groups) according to the clinical working time and different disciplinary backgrounds: basic first aid skills training (63 physicians), senior first aid skills training (159 physicians), and advanced case scenario simulation training (41 physicians). The teaching effect on objective skills test scores, pre-post training self-estimate scores and confidence, and training satisfaction was evaluated.
resultsBased on the objective evaluation criteria, the average skills test scores of three different levels of skills training groups were higher than 90, and the highest average skills test score was the basic first aid skills training group. In three different levels of skills training groups, the self-estimate scores within the range of 100–90 and 89–80 after the training were statistically significantly higher than before the training (P < 0.01). The confidence in managing clinical emergencies after the training was significantly higher than before the training (P < 0.01).
conclusionThe simulation-based first aid skills training stratified into three levels is effective in helping high-level first aid proficiency in physicians. It provides a stratified training pattern according to the clinical working time and different disciplinary backgrounds of physicians.
