Video-Assisted Simulation with Audience Response (VASAR): An Educationally Efficient and Scalable Model for Medical Education Simulation.

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
Purpose: High-fidelity simulation offers invaluable educational benefits in medical education. It provides the opportunity to develop critical communication and crisis resource management skills, but depends upon a high level of resources including technical equipment, a simulated environment, and instructors with expertise in simulation. This study aimed to develop an educational model that provided some of the benefits of simulation but with increased educational efficiency. Methods: The intervention was implemented at a specialty continuing medical education conference. This study combined video scenarios, role-playing, team-based learning strategies, and audience response systems to create Video-Assisted Simulation with Audience Response (VASAR). Post-session questionnaire data was compared between traditional high-fidelity simulation and VASAR. Data was also compared to questionnaire responses from separate experiences with high-fidelity simulation. Results: The study included 70 participants. The data suggest that participants found VASAR to be useful (96%) and realistic (92%). Both video and audience response systems were felt to be valuable (96% and 92%). Participants indicated the workshop would help them practice more safely (80%). In comparison of VASAR with traditional high-fidelity simulation, there were no statistical differences for usefulness of the course (p=0.53), feedback from debriefers (p=0.14), or recommending the course to colleagues (p=0.48). Conclusion: This study suggests that Video-Assisted Simulation with Audience Response can provide an interactive simulated clinical experience which participants find useful to clinical practice, and that VASAR can provide a tool for future strategies in medical education.
