Developing and Designing an Evidence-Informed Serratus Anterior Plane Block Education Program for Emergency Medicine.
Article in Emergency medicine Australasia : EMA, 2026. 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
objectiveThe aim of this paper is to describe the methods and processes used to develop a theory-informed, dedicated serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) education and training program for Emergency Medicine clinicians.
methodsThis program was informed by Kern's six-step approach to curriculum development. Firstly, expert consensus on education and training was developed using a modified Delphi process. Secondly, contemporary medical literature was incorporated with educational pedagogical theoretical frameworks including Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives, backwards design, and constructive alignment, scaffolded learning, and segmented learning. Finally, these were aligned with existing national policies around regional anaesthesia in the Emergency Department.
resultsThe resultant SAPB evidence-based education package is supported by the most current evidence for using the SAPB as a regional anaesthesia procedure for patients with rib fracture pain. It serves as an educational tool for clinicians already proficient in the principles of plane blocks with additional guidance on establishing local workshops for practical education as well as ongoing supervision and governance for this procedure.
conclusionsThe development of a theory-informed, dedicated SAPB education and training program for Emergency Medicine clinicians required a balanced combination of clinical science and procedural expertise with educational theory. This provides a framework for future works when developing educational resources to introduce new clinical procedures into routine Emergency Medicine practice.
