Predicting team-performance and leadership in emergency situations by observing standardised operational procedures: a prospective single-blind simulator-based trial.

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
Background: Performance of interdisciplinary teams and their leaders is crucial in acute medical care and can be monitored by observing specific events. Standardised operational procedures (SOP) are easily observable, whereas the unpredictability of medical emergencies makes performance monitoring in these situations difficult. The aim of this study was therefore to assess whether performance in emergency situations can be predicted by performance observed during an SOP. Methods: 30 intensive care unit teams composed of one staff physician (leader), one resident and three nurses performed a simulated scenario of an elective electrical cardioversion (SOP) followed by a cardiac arrest (emergency). Video recordings obtained during simulations were used for data analysis. The primary outcome was the correlation between performance scores of electrical cardioversion and performance during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (hands-on time, time to first defibrillation). Results: None of the cardioversion performance scores significantly correlated with resuscitation performance. Leadership scores during electrical cardioversion correlated positively with leadership scores during cardiopulmonary resuscitation ( Conclusions: Team performance in SOP carried no predictive value for emergency situations. Observing teams in easily observable SOP is therefore no suitable substitute for monitoring the performance in medical emergencies. There was a between-situation consistency for specific elements of leadership.
