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
Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of AvTrach Design: A multi-institutional, randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted to compare AWAS with HFM training modalities for tracheostomy suctioning among healthcare professionals and students. Methods: Participants (n = 69) from two institutions were randomized into experimental (AWAS) and control (HFM) groups. Competency was assessed using an Objective Structured Clinical Examination tool, and stress responses were measured through salivary cortisol levels. The study encompassed four sessions: recruitment, baseline competency levels and training, simulation, and clinical demonstrations. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, and mixed-effects regression models. Results: Both groups demonstrated improved competency post-training (p < 0.001). However, the AWAS group achieved higher clinical competency scores (p < 0.001) and exhibited stable cortisol levels during clinical demonstrations, indicating better stress adaptation. Participants in the AWAS group also reported higher engagement, attributed to dynamic feedback and enhanced emotional immersion. Conclusion: AWAS training, integrating physical, conceptual, and psychological fidelity, significantly enhances tracheostomy care competency and stress management compared to HFM. This approach supports technical skill development, emotional preparedness, and interprofessional collaboration, essential for high-stakes clinical environments.
