The influence of simulated patient counsellingtraining sessions on intern communication skills: A questionnaire based cross sectional study.
Article in Bioinformation, 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 poor communication skills among doctors are one of the reasons for workplace violence (WPV) against medical professionals. The usefulness of role play as a tool to teach basic communication and counseling skills to the interns (who would very soon be first year residents) and to analyse and assess the perception of students and faculty towards role play sessions as a teaching-learning method. The 36 interns posted in the department of medicine were randomly divided into 6 groups and distributed as a treating physician, patient, family member and observers and were asked to perform role play of given clinical scenarios before and after the workshop conducted in the department. The pre-training average score for each response had lower values (M = 5, SD = 0.9) than the post-training average score for each response (M =8.46, SD = 1.92). Role-play sensitization workshop followed by detailed debriefing had a positive impact on communication skills in interns in clinical based scenarios.
