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

Aims: To test junior doctors' abilities to retain advanced life support psychomotor skills and theoretical knowledge in management of shockable rhythm cardiac arrest. Methods: A repeated measure pre-post study design was used with 43 junior doctors, recruited after notifying them with robust method of attraction through flyers, brochures, email and phone calls. Written and performance tests, initial pre-test, immediate post-training, 30-days post-training and 60-days post-training, using simulation-based scenarios with a low-fidelity manikin were used with recording performance of ALS. Instrumentation: Resuscitation Council UK ALS algorithms and guidelines Results: There was a highly significant improvement in knowledge immediately after training ( Conclusion: The training of junior doctors in shockable rhythm cardiac arrest in a low resource setting, improved knowledge and skills in the participants after training. However, retention of knowledge declined at 30 days and more significantly after 60 days and retention of skill was declined more significantly at 30 days.
