Empowering senior medical residents as resuscitation team leaders.
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 2 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
backgroundA code blue is a medical emergency indicating a patient requiring immediate attention with a systematic hospital wide response handled in a team based approach. In academic hospital settings, medical trainees are first responders to code blues. As first responders, a senior resident is required to assume the code blue leader role.
aimThis study explores what non-technical characteristics define a code blue leader to be a good leader?
methodsThe study took place at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine. A qualitative methodology was applied. Semi-structured interviews were conducted sequentially.
resultsTen senior residents were interviewed using semi-structured interviews. Three distinct themes emerged, namely: individual factors, factors influencing team work and organization factors. Results confirm that residents lack confidence in leading code blue teams. This feeling is influenced by personal, team and situational factors. Residents lack training in non-technical skills and as a result feel they don't know how to lead a code blue team and feel they lack the necessary skills to work effectively in a code blue team, especially under pressure.
conclusionsThese data suggest that the lack of devoted training to non-technical skills, influences resident confidence, comfort, preparedness and functioning of resuscitative teams. Northern Ontario School of Medicine University REB approved, file number 6,021,198.
