Integrating soft skills into perfusion education: a necessity for modern clinical practice.
Article in The journal of extra-corporeal technology, 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
Soft, non-technical competencies are important in perfusion practice but are often inconsistently taught. Key domains include communication, teamwork, leadership, adaptability, emotional intelligence, conflict management, professionalism, and cultural awareness. Suggested methods are interprofessional simulation, structured debriefing with feedback, short courses on communication and conflict resolution, mentored rotations with behavioral checklists, and recognition of progress through competency milestones and continuing professional development. Clear learning objectives and simple, validated assessments can help programs include these elements. Embedding soft-skill expectations in perfusion curricula, appraisal, and certification supports better coordination in the operating room, more consistent crisis management, and stronger collaboration across disciplines and with patients. A steady, stepwise adoption of these methods can improve consistency and patient safety across programs.
