Development and Evaluation of a Bariatric Mannequin Simulation System.
Article in Computers, informatics, nursing : CIN, 2025. 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
Physical assessment of obese patients is an essential clinical skill for identifying the numerous health problems of obese patients and monitoring treatment effectiveness. Use of simulation mannequins facilitates teaching and learning of physical assessment. Available bariatric simulation mannequins have poor functional design, unrealistic appearance, and limited assessment functions. We developed a bariatric mannequin simulation system and an associated education curriculum of seven case scenario and debriefing exercises focused on health problems experienced by individuals who are obese. An innovation of our mannequin is inclusion of programmable electronics that can be used with clinical tools that receive the electronic signals; together they provide ability to assess normal and abnormal signs of a wide variety of health problems. Ten nursing faculty and 51 nursing and medical students at a Midwestern university evaluated the features and satisfaction of a prototype bariatric mannequin in separate simulation sessions using Likert-scale questionnaires. Results showed that the majority of faculty (60%) and student participants (70%+) agreed/highly agreed that the bariatric mannequin was innovative, engaging, user-friendly, useful, and likely effective for teaching or learning. Satisfaction ratings of both groups were similar. Feedback from participants was incorporated into a final refined product that improved its realistic appearance.
