Inside the Black Box of Deliberate Practice: How do Coaches Coach to Improve Trauma Triage.
Trial report in The Journal of surgical research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
introductionDeliberate practice, goal-oriented training with feedback from a coach, is a common tool for improving physicians' performance. However, little is known about how coaches foster performance improvement.
methodsA content analysis of video-recorded training sessions was performed to analyze the coaches' behaviors during a pilot randomized trial of deliberate practice in trauma triage. The intervention consisted of three video-conference sessions during which trial physicians, under the supervision of a coach, played a customized video game designed to review trauma triage principles. A multidisciplinary team specified tasks (e.g., create collaborative learning environment) that coaches should complete, and suggested 19 coaching strategies (e.g., encourage culture of error) to allow execution of these tasks. Two independent raters translated those strategies into a coding framework and applied it deductively to the recorded sessions. The frequencies of the coaching strategies were summarized, and tested for variation across coaches and time.
resultsThirty physicians received the intervention across two 1-mo blocks. Most (28 [93%]) completed three sessions, each covering two (interquartile range 1-2) triage principles. Coaches used coaching strategies 18 (interquartile range 14.5-22) times per triage principle, using some often (2-3 times/principle) and others infrequently (<1 time/principle). The three coaches used similar numbers (20 versus 16 versus 18.5, P = 0.07) and types of strategies. However, use increased over time (16.8 [Block 1] versus 20 [Block 2] P = 0.018).
conclusionsCoaches used 19 coaching strategies to deliver this deliberate practice intervention, with behavior that evolved over time. Future trials should isolate the most potent strategies and should assess the best method of standardizing coaching.
