Critical skills: qualitative content analysis of medical residents in social skills training with RPGs.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 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
The present study aimed to assess the viability of Social Skills Training through RPGs during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, employing qualitative discourse analysis of residents. Focus groups were conducted with a convenience sample of psychiatry residents who volunteered to participate in the RPG-based training. Eleven residents took part in video conference focus groups, with one researcher acting as a non-participant observer. Over a period of 4 months, residents engaged in weekly 3-h sessions structured around five fundamental steps: rapport building, task discussions, goal setting, gaming, and feedback. Results indicate positive impacts on group dynamics, communication skills, cooperation, assertiveness, empathy, mental health, and quality of life. However, given the exploratory nature of this study, further research incorporating pre- and post-intervention assessments is warranted to thoroughly evaluate the intervention's effectiveness.
