Rapid cycle deliberate practice: a complement to clinical exposure in critical care education.
Observational study in ATS scholar, 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
backgroundRapid cycle deliberate practice (RCDP) is an emerging simulation technique that differs from traditional simulation by providing opportunities for shorter and more frequent cycles of practice and feedback.
objectivesTo explore whether RCDP-based weekly simulations during a 4-week Intensive Care Unit (ICU) rotation helped at least 80% of residents and medical students rotating in the intensive care unit achieve a minimum of 80% of key clinical tasks expected from physicians initially caring for acutely deteriorating inpatients.
methodsThis prospective, observational study consisted of delivering 3 weekly RCDP-based small-group simulation sessions, followed by one individual formative simulation-based assessment, repeated monthly. Learner performance during the formative assessment was measured with a checklist containing 22 key clinical tasks previously practiced during the RCDP-based simulations. The primary outcome was learner performance score expressed as the proportion of successfully completed clinical tasks during the assessment simulation. Secondary outcomes included attendance, RCDP acceptability, and perceived psychological safety.
resultsThe average attendance to the RCDP sessions was 77% among available learners (residents and medical students). Ten out of the 23 learners (43%; 95% CI, 23-64) assessed at the end of the rotation performed more than 80% of the clinical behaviors. The overall mean performance score of all learners was 77% (95% CI, 73-80). Most of the learners perceived RCPD as educationally valuable and psychologically safe.
conclusionsAlthough the targeted performance outcome was not achieved, learners who participated in RCDP-based simulations demonstrated, during their assessment, important skills not consistently practiced during short ICU clinical rotations at the study institution. RCDP-based simulations identified areas for curriculum improvements and were also perceived as valuable and safe educational tools by learners.
