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
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a simulation-based Advanced Life Support (ALS) training programme on the self-efficacy and communication of health personnel. The research focussed on whether such training could enhance both technical and non-technical skills, particularly in managing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) situations. A quasi-experimental pre- and post-intervention study was conducted in primary care centres across Andalusia, Spain. A total of 106 health personnel (doctors and nurses), aged 21 to 65 years, participated in the study. Participants completed questionnaires measuring self-efficacy and communication styles before and after a 27-hour blended ALS training programme, which incorporated high-fidelity simulation exercises. Communication was assessed across several dimensions, including expressiveness, preciseness, impression manipulativeness, and emotionality. Post-intervention analysis revealed significant changes in communication styles. Specifically, doctors exhibited a reduction in "impression manipulativeness," while nurses showed an increase in "expressiveness." Although self-efficacy scores improved slightly after the training, the changes were not statistically significant. Correlational analyses indicated that higher self-efficacy was positively associated with "expressiveness" and "preciseness," and negatively associated with "emotionality." In conclusion, simulation-based ALS training led to improved communication among health personnel, with distinct patterns emerging between doctors and nurses. While the simulation training did not significantly increase self-efficacy, the trends observed suggest potential benefits. These findings support the inclusion of simulation in continuing professional development programmes to strengthen non-technical skills essential for effective CPR performance.
