q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

Systematic review meta-analysis (Review Manager 5.3 and Meta-essentials) of 4 studies of fetal biometry outcomes, reported as a forest plot in Figure 2 showing a "favorable effect for improved accuracy of biometry" after simulation training. No standardized effect size is printed.

"The results are shown in Figure 2, finding favorable effect for improved accuracy of biometry in obstetric ultrasound after simulation training."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• All four meta-analyzed studies reported positive effects of simulator training on novice performance, in CRL and FL measurement regardless of simulator model — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• The literature poorly addresses whether simulation-learned obstetric ultrasound skills transfer to clinical practice and are sustained over time — related
