The effect of mannequin fidelity on the achievement of learning outcomes for nursing, midwifery and allied healthcare practitioners: Systematic review and meta-analysis

Higher-fidelity mannequins exhibited modest advantages when testing closely followed training. However results need to be confirmed using a larger number of high quality RCTs. A greater body of research using repeated-interventions and extended time-frames is also required before the influence of sustained training with alternative mannequins can be fully elucidated.
