A fellows first night on call: managing the chaos in the storm.
Article in BMC medical education, 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
introductionTraditional cardiology orientation training offers limited exposure to acute overnight decision-making under high cognitive load. Simulation provides a safe, reproducible environment for deliberate practice and reflection.
methodsA multi-scenario, high-fidelity "night-float" simulation was implemented for incoming cardiology fellows at the NCH Rooney Heart Institute. Fellows managed sequential acute cardiovascular emergencies with embedded nurses and standardized patients, followed by structured debriefing using the PEARLS framework. Pre- and post-simulation surveys assessed confidence across clinical, procedural, and communication domains.
resultsFive fellows participated. Post-simulation confidence improved across all domains, with the greatest gains in decision-making and leadership under pressure. Faculty observed enhanced situational awareness and prioritization as scenarios progressed.
conclusionsThis cardiology night-float simulation is a feasible, reproducible high-impact orientation model. Early performance observations enabled individualized feedback and follow-up, supporting mastery learning and readiness for overnight call responsibilities.
