The impact of CPR coach presence and position on team leader and team performance during asystole simulation scenario: a randomized simulation-based trial.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05309434 (Effects of CPR Coaching on Leader's Performance During Simulated Cardiac Arrest), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
backgroundHigh-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation is critical for patient survival, and its effectiveness depends on compression quality, team coordination, and leadership. The CPR coach provides real-time feedback aimed at optimizing chest compressions and enhancing the overall resuscitation process. The primary aim is to evaluate whether the presence and the position of a CPR coach are equivalent compared to the absence of a CPR coach regarding the team leader's performance. As a secondary objective, it was investigated whether the presence and the position of the CPR coach influence the teams' performance.
methodsThis is single-center, randomized, controlled, three-arm, simulation-based equivalence trial. Teams of residents participated in standardized asystole scenarios, randomized to one of three groups: Group A (CPR coach positioned near the defibrillator), Group B (CPR coach allowed to move freely), and Group C (no CPR coach). The primary outcome was assessed using the Resuscitation Team Leader Evaluation Scale. The secondary outcome was measured by the Clinical Performance Tool and a CPR execution quality score derived from simulation manikin feedback.
resultsA total of 42 teams were included in the analysis. With respect to the primary outcome, team leader performance was statistically equivalent across Groups A, B, and C. As for the secondary outcome, no significant differences were observed in overall team performance.
conclusionThe presence and position of a CPR coach did not significantly influence team leader or team performance. Further research is needed to explore the role of CPR coaches in real-life settings and among more experienced teams.
