Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Subgroup analysis found time improvement of 293 seconds for junior and non-cardiothoracic residents versus 120 seconds for senior residents (P = 0.003). → O'Dwyer M 2022

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2
Subgroup analysis (test for subgroup differences, Fig. 3) comparing time improvement between junior/non-cardiothoracic residents and senior residents. The article reports "293 versus 120 s, P = 0.003" but notes high heterogeneity between groups limits interpretation.
"Subgroup analysis demonstrated that simulation in junior and non-cardiothoracic residents was associated with more of a positive impact when compared with senior residents, as regards time improvement (293 versus 120 s, P = 0.003)"
