Trial reportPediatric blood & cancer2023
A randomized controlled trial to examine the effect of the Pediatric Opioid Analgesia Self-Instruction System (PedOASIS) tool on pediatric hematology/oncology trainee education.
Trial report in Pediatric blood & cancer, 2023. 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
backgroundMany children with hematologic and oncologic diagnoses require opioids for management of pain, yet knowledge gaps persist among pediatric hematology/oncology (PHO) fellows.
objectivePediatric Opioid Analgesia Self-Instruction System (PedOASIS) is an interactive, case-based education tool designed for independent learning. The goal of this study was to evaluate its efficacy in increasing PHO fellows' knowledge and comfort with using opioids to manage pain. DESIGN/
methodPHO fellows were recruited from 74 American College of Graduate Medical Education-accredited US programs during the 2019-2020 academic year and randomized to receive access to PedOASIS (intervention) or usual PHO training (control). Surveys at baseline, immediately after accessing the tool, and 6 months later assessed knowledge and comfort related to prescribing opioids.
resultsA total of 64 PHO fellows completed the study, with 32 in the intervention group and 32 controls. At baseline, mean scores on the 10-question knowledge assessment were similar between groups (intervention: 5, control: 6; p = .8). Following intervention, mean score was significantly higher in the intervention group (9) versus controls (5; p < .0001). Six months later, scores in both groups decreased but remained significantly higher in the intervention group (7) compared to controls (5, p < .0001) and compared to baseline (p = .0002). Fellows in the intervention group reported significant increases in comfort dosing opioids after exposure to the tool (p = .02).
conclusionPHO fellows exposed to the tool had improved scores on validated knowledge questions and greater comfort using opioids for pain management compared to controls. We therefore suggest that PedOASIS warrants further evaluation as a potential tool for PHO fellows.
