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

Although simulation-based education is well known to support skill development such as Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support skills, it is not well incorporated in the Canadian junior undergraduate medical education curriculum. Medical students at the University of Toronto in collaboration with the local Base Hospital created ResusWars, a simulation-based education initiative. The aim of ResusWars is to introduce Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support theory and increase early access to simulation-based education for junior medical students. Pre- and post-event surveys showed that participants felt more confident managing time-sensitive scenarios and were more comfortable with simulation following participation in ResusWars.
