Educational escape game in emergency medicine: what criteria are needed to increase satisfaction: a focus group study.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
contextThe use of escape games in education is gaining in popularity, particularly in health teaching, and has already proved its effectiveness. However, the quality criteria for this type of format are not clearly defined.
aimsThe main objective of our study was to identify the elements that promote or limit satisfaction with an educational escape game.
methodsOur team created a game for healthcare professionals and students, which was presented at an emergency medicine congress. Focus groups were conducted at the end of the sessions, then analyzed thematically to identify the determinants of learner satisfaction. Questionnaires were sent out 3 months later to study long term satisfaction.
resultsThe total recording time for the 19 interviews was 1h37min, i.e. an average of 5 min 06 s per interview (duration between 2 min 39 and 9 min 38). 43 people responded to the 3-month questionnaire. 17 out of 19 groups were very satisfied with the gamification experience Several quality criteria were identified for this type of tool, including playfulness, similarity to mainstream escape games, closeness of the experience to real life, and plausibility of the scenario.
conclusionsThe escape game was perceived as an engaging tool for training, but further studies are needed to confirm its impact on clinical performance Qualitative analysis has enabled us to identify quality criteria for this type of tool, aiding us to offer more suitable content in the future.
