1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify specific simulated scenarios and events for surgeons that discretely and effectively measure non-technical skills (NTS) constructs and appropriately measure NTS using specific behavioral anchors. Methods: Over the course of two rounds, experts in NTS accumulated a comprehensive list of simulated scenarios used at our institution to evaluate NTS. Utilizing a survey, experts were able to review scenarios, events, and behavioral anchors to evaluate their agreement with the appropriateness of the events and effectiveness of the anchors. Coefficient of variation (CV) was used to evaluate agreement between raters. The highest rated events were identified. Results: The CV between raters was moderate, and further inspection revealed that 86% of event ratings had discordance within ± 1 point. The highest rated events in terms of appropriateness and behavioral anchor effectiveness evaluated surgeons' leadership and communication. Conclusions: In this study, experts identified three simulated events that isolate and discretely evaluate specific NTS among surgeons. In the future, these scenarios can be used to effectively evaluate surgeons' NTS. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s44186-025-00390-6.
