Efficacy of a smart glass-enhanced training programme for core doctor-patient communication skills among radiology residents in China.

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 doctor-patient communication (DPC) skills are critical competencies in residency training. This study evaluated the efficacy of a smart glass (SG)-based communication skills training curriculum for radiology residents in China. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest-posttest design involved 18 radiology residents in an 8-week SG-based DPC simulation training. Supervisors used the SEGUE scale, while residents and four standardised patients (SPs) trained by the Guangdong Institute of Simulation Medicine self-assessed satisfaction with a Likert scale. Analysis compared pre- and post-training scores (before, immediately after, and 6 months post-programme). Post-training SG experiences were assessed via surveys.
resultsSignificant improvements were observed in SEGUE scale scores immediately and 6 months post-programme compared with pre-programme scores (17.06 ± 3.67 and 17.72 ± 3.12 versus 10.94 ± 2.88, respectively, p < 0.001). Similarly, Likert scores for SPs and residents showed significant increases both immediately and 6 months post-programme compared with initial scores (3.50 ± 0.51 and 3.67 ± 0.68 versus 2.39 ± 0.61, p < 0.001 for both, and 3.28 ± 0.46 and 3.55 ± 0.78 versus 2.66 ± 0.84, p = 0.037 and 0.008, respectively). Post-training, the Likert consistency between SPs and residents was 0.73 (p = 0.005). Of 18 participants, 16 (89%) reported that SG provided useful feedback, and 16 (89%) recognised the value of SG in developing DPC skills.
conclusionThe SG-based simulation training programme significantly enhanced and sustained DPC skills among radiology residents. RELEVANCE STATEMENT: Smart glasses provide an innovative tool for recording standardised patient encounters, offering a perspective for analysing and evaluating residents' interpersonal communication skills and nonverbal behaviours. KEY POINTS: Smart glasses enhance doctor-patient communication skills in radiology residents. Simulation training with smart glasses showed improvement in skills. Smart glasses offer a perspective for standardised patient encounters. They facilitate better analysis of residents' interpersonal and nonverbal communication.
