What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This trial tests whether a short, web-based augmented reality lesson can improve how patients and their caregivers understand and respond to fire emergencies in a hospital. Participants are randomly assigned to either the AR experience or standard fire-safety education. Researchers measure changes in knowledge, attitudes, and self-reported behaviors right before and after the lesson, and also ask how easy and useful the AR method feels.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Augmented reality fire-safety education
What this could lead to
If effective, AR-based education could become a scalable tool to improve emergency preparedness in hospitals, potentially reducing injury and death during fires.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-site trial with a short intervention (10-15 minutes). Results may not generalize to other settings or populations, and the novelty of AR might wear off with repeated use.
