From communication to action: using ordered network analysis to model team performance in clinical simulation.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. 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
backgroundEffective team communication is crucial for managing medical emergencies like malignant hyperthermia (MH), but current assessment methods fail to capture the dynamic and temporal nature of teamwork processes. The lack of reliable measures to inform feedback to teams is likely limiting the overall effectiveness of simulation training. This study demonstrates the application of ordered network analysis (ONA) to model communication sequences during the simulated MH scenario.
methodsTwenty-two anesthesiologists participated in video-recorded MH simulations. Each scenario involved one participant as the primary anesthesiologist with confederates in supporting roles. Team communication was coded using the Team Reflection Behavioral Observation (TuRBO) framework, capturing behaviors related to information gathering, evaluation, planning, and implementation. ONA modeled the sequences of these coded behaviors as dynamic networks. Teams were classified as high- or low-performing based on timely dantrolene administration and appropriate MH treatment actions. Network visualizations and statistical tests compared communication patterns between groups.
resultsFive of 22 teams (23%) were high-performing. ONA revealed high-performers transitioned more effectively from situation assessment (information seeking/evaluation) to planning and implementation, while low-performers cycled between assessment behaviors without progressing (p = 0.04, Cohen's d = 1.72). High-performers demonstrated stronger associations between invited input, explicitly assessing the situation, stating plans, and implementation.
conclusionsIntegrating video coding with ONA provides an innovative approach for examining team behaviors. Leveraging ONA can uncover patterns in communication timing and sequences, guiding targeted interventions to improve team coordination in various real-world clinical and simulated settings (e.g., operating room, EMS, ICU).
