Mental Practice to Maintain Procedural Competency of Faculty with Decreased Opportunities.
Article in ATS scholar, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Physicians practicing in pediatric critical care medicine (PCCM) should maintain procedural skills competency. Faculty practicing in academic centers face challenges that may affect their procedural skills maintenance. The overall clinical opportunities are decreasing in PCCM. Faculty also have the dual role of supervising and supporting the achievement of trainee competence. Mental practice (MP) does not need direct procedural involvement and could be a helpful strategy for faculty. Objectives: This study's objective was to explore how faculty in an academic center use MP to maintain their procedural competency when faced with decreased clinical opportunities. Methods: The study was conducted in a tertiary academic center in 2023. We used a qualitative methodology using semistructured interviews as our data source. Participants were faculty practicing in PCCM. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and then analyzed and coded inductively and deductively using Guillot and Collet's Motor Imagery Integrative Model. A faculty member and a trainee performed the analysis. Differences were resolved through discussion. Triangulation was done through member checking. Results: Thirteen interviews were conducted with academic PCCM faculty. Thematic and data saturation was achieved. All faculty used MP to rehearse strategies to anticipate and troubleshoot problems. Fewer faculty members used MP to rehearse the procedural steps. MP consequently increased self-confidence and reduced anxiety. Conclusions: MP is used by faculty in performing and maintaining procedural competency. The low-resource nature of MP could make it a useful adjunct in the maintenance of procedural competency.
