Effectiveness of a near-peer teaching model in an otolaryngology bootcamp for medical students: a pilot study.
Article in Canadian journal of surgery. Journal canadien de chirurgie. 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
backgroundStudies show that near-peer, simulation-based training can help develop technical skills. We sought to examine the effectiveness of near-peer instruction in otolaryngology emergencies by assessing student knowledge and procedural confidence before and after a 2-hour workshop.
methodsWe designed a pilot study for an otolaryngology workshop led by a second-year resident and 2 third-year medical students. The workshop consisted of lectures for anatomy and procedural overview, followed by hands-on simulation stations. Participants completed pre- and post-workshop quizzes and surveys to assess confidence in epistaxis management, cricothyrotomy, and nasolaryngoscopy.
resultsSixteen medical students participated (mean age 25.8 yr). Median quiz scores increased significantly from 7 to 17 out of 21 after the workshop (
conclusionThe workshop effectively improved knowledge and procedural confidence in epistaxis management, cricothyrotomy, and nasolaryngoscopy among medical students. It was well received, with high satisfaction scores, and feasible to coordinate.
