Non-technical skill performance during remote, international, augmented-reality neonatal resuscitation protocol simulations: a feasibility study.
Article in BMC medical education, 2026. 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
backgroundNeonatal resuscitation requires mastery of technical and non-technical skills (NTS). The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) emphasizes ventilation, along with effective leadership, teamwork, and situational awareness. Simulation-based education is central to NTS training but is resource-intensive with limited access in low- and middle-income countries. Augmented reality (AR) medical simulations offer a scalable, remote solution with fewer logistical barriers.
methodsWe conducted a prospective, single-arm feasibility study evaluating a remote AR medical simulation for assessing NTS during neonatal resuscitation. Instructors based in Northern California (Stanford School of Medicine) remotely facilitated pediatric and anesthesiology residents in Santiago, Chile (University of Chile) as team leaders in an NRP scenario delivered using an AR medical simulator. The primary outcome was NTS performance measured with the Anesthetists' Non-Technical Skills (ANTS) tool. Secondary outcomes included the Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale (BARS), system usability via the System Usability Scale (SUS), and ergonomics via the ISO 9241 - 400 scale.
resultsThirty-four residents completed all sessions. Participants demonstrated adequate NTS performance, with ANTS scores 2.5-2.9 (scale 1-4) and BARS scores 5.2-5.4 (scale 1-9), similar to those observed in traditional, in-person simulations. SUS responses indicated high usability, and ergonomic results suggested minimal physical or cognitive burden.
conclusionsThis feasibility study shows that participants demonstrated measurable NTS performance during remote, international AR neonatal resuscitation simulations, as assessed using ANTS and BARS.
