Simulation-based training: Assessment of impact on medical students' performance, confidence in CPR, and patient outcomes - A single-center study.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 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
backgroundCardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an essential life-saving procedure. Traditional training methods may not sufficiently prepare medical students for real-world emergencies. Simulation-based training offers a high-fidelity, immersive approach to teaching CPR skills. To assess the effectiveness of simulation-based CPR training on medical students' performance and confidence, and to evaluate its impact on real patient outcomes. MATERIALS AND
methodsA single-center, prospective observational study was conducted at Chettinad Academy of Research and Education (CARE) from January 2022 to June 2024. A total of 1000 medical students underwent AHA-certified BLS and ACLS training. Performance was assessed pre- and post-training using standardized AHA checklists. Student confidence was measured using structured surveys developed by the Department of Community Medicine. Patient outcome data from 103 real-life resuscitation cases involving these students were analyzed.
resultsPost-training, mean BLS and ACLS scores improved from 65% to 85% and 60% to 80%, respectively. Significant gains were observed in chest compression (70% to 90%), ventilation (60% to 85%), defibrillation (55% to 80%), and protocol adherence (60% to 85%). Student confidence rose from 40% to 85%. Patient outcomes improved notably, with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) rates increasing from 60% to 78%.
conclusionSimulation-based CPR training significantly enhanced both skill performance and confidence among medical students, and contributed to improved patient survival during clinical resuscitation events.
