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

backgroundMedication errors in the pediatric population are a major patient safety problem, leading to death, disability, or prolonged hospitalization. This study investigated the effect of medication skills training provided to senior pediatric nursing students through simulation and a web-based Double-Eye Control Program (DECP) on students' pediatric medication error rates.

methodsThis quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest study was conducted using structured, non-participant observation. The outcomes were overall medication error rate and subcategories (preparation, administration, follow-up, and recording). In the pre-intervention stage, students administered medication to a pediatric mannequin according to a scenario. The intervention consisted of simulation training supported by a web-based DECP. No randomization was performed. Post-intervention, students repeated the same scenario using the DECP. Data were analyzed with the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, and interrater reliability among 4 observers was assessed using Fleiss' Kappa.

resultsThe mean overall error rate decreased from 55.37% before the intervention to 13.52% after the intervention. Preparation, administration, follow-up, and recording error rates all significantly decreased (P < .001).

conclusionThe web-based DECP integrated with simulation significantly reduced pediatric medication administration errors among student nurses.
