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? In the one trial evaluating supervision, there was no statistically significant difference between supervised and non-supervised simulation. → O'Dwyer M 2022
Evidence¶
O'Dwyer M 2022¶
O'Dwyer M, Fleming CA, Ahern S, Barrett S, Raftery NB, Ní Dhonnchú T, Doddakula K. (2022). Objective improvement with coronary anastomosis simulation training: meta-analysis. BJS Open. https://doi.org/10.1093/bjsopen/zrab147
q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r3
Single randomized trial (Enter and colleagues) in which 45 medical students were assigned to control, unsupervised, or supervised practice conditions. The article reports "no statistically significant difference" between supervised and non-supervised simulation; the authors note the study may have been insufficiently powered.
"Only Enter and colleagues, evaluated the impact of supervision on improving simulation scores in medical students. There was no statistically significant difference in supervised simulation and non-supervised simulation."
