Quantum leadership: new approach in managing shoulder dystocia in simulation-based training.
Article in Future science OA, 2025. 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
backgroundShoulder dystocia, a challenging condition for obstetricians, poses significant risks to both maternal and neonatal health, including maternal postpartum hemorrhage, neonatal hypoxia, and brachial plexus injury. Despite being unpredictable and unpreventable, effective management can mitigate these risks. Miscommunication and poor leadership are responsible for 72% of medical errors, which further highlights the importance of robust leadership skills in obstetric emergencies. RESEARCH DESIGN AND
methodsA qualitative study involving 20 participants through structured interviews assessed preferred leadership styles in managing shoulder dystocia.
resultsFindings revealed that 55% of participants favored quantum leadership. Other preferences included laissez-faire by one anesthesiologist and democratic by two midwives. However, all participants acknowledged the efficacy of the seven quantum leadership skills in managing shoulder dystocia. Discussion emphasized that traditional leadership styles are less effective compared to quantum leadership in managing the complexities of shoulder dystocia. The quantum Ob-Wheel, consisting of 12 milestones, integrates these seven interdependent skills to guide the management process.
conclusionsDespite the limited sample size of this study, it is worth noting that, given the unpredictable nature of shoulder dystocia, clinicians should be prepared for its occurrence during any birth, with quantum leadership providing a strategic advantage in such scenarios.
