Utilizing Eye Tracking to Assess Medical Student Non-Technical Performance During Scenario-Based Simulation: Results of a Pilot Study.
Article in Global surgical education : journal of the Association for Surgical Education, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: Non-technical skills (NTS) are essential for safe surgical patient management. However, assessing NTS involves observer-based ratings, which can introduce bias. Eye tracking (ET) has been proposed as an effective method to capture NTS. The purpose of the current study was to determine if ET metrics are associated with NTS performance. Methods: Participants wore a mobile ET system and participated in two patient care simulations, where they managed a deteriorating patient. The scenarios featured several challenges to leadership, which were evaluated using a 4-point Likert scale. NTS were evaluated by trained raters using the Non-Technical Skills for Surgeons (NOTSS) scale. ET metrics included percentage of fixations and visits on areas of interest. Results: Ten medical students participated. Average visit duration on the patient was negatively correlated with participants' communication and leadership. Average visit duration on the patient's intravenous access was negatively correlated with participants' decision making and situation awareness. Conclusions: Our preliminary data suggests that visual attention on the patient was negatively associated with NTS and may indicate poor comprehension of the patient's status due to heightened cognitive load. In future work, researchers and educators should consider using ET to objectively evaluate and provide feedback on their NTS.
