Measuring non-technical skills during prehospital advanced cardiac life support: A pilot study.
Article in Resuscitation plus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
aimTo analyse non-technical skills of mobile medical teams during out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) using the validated Team Emergency Assessment Measure (TEAM) tool. To research the correlation between non-technical skills and patient outcome.
methodsAdult patients who experienced an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest between July 2016, and June 2018, and were treated by a mobile medical team from the University Hospital Leuven, were eligible for the study. Resuscitations were video recorded from the team leader's perspective. Video recordings were reviewed and scored by emergency physicians, using the TEAM evaluation form.
resultsIn total 114 OHCAs were analysed. The mean TEAM score was 34.4/44 (SD = 5.5). The mean item score was 3.1/4 (SD = 0.8). On average, 'effective team communication' had the lowest score (2.4), while 'acting with composure and control' and 'following of approved standards/guidelines' scored the highest (3.4). The average non-technical skills theme scores were 2.9 (SD = 0.9) for 'Leadership', 3.1 (SD = 0.8) for 'Teamwork' and 3.3 (SD = 0.7) for 'Task management'. 'Leadership' was rated significantly lower than 'Teamwork' (p = 0.004) and 'Task management' (p < 0.001). No significant correlation was found between TEAM and return of spontaneous circulation (p = 0.574) or one month survival (p = 0.225).
conclusionThe mean overall TEAM score was categorized as good. Task management scored high, while leadership and team communication received lower scores. Future training programs should thus focus on improving leadership and communication. In this pilot study no correlation was found between non-technical skills and survival.
