National Consensus Catalogue of Psychomotor Competencies for Brazilian Medical Graduates: a modified Delphi Study - Part II.
Article in Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira (1992), 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
objectiveTo develop Part II of the National Consensus Catalogue of essential psychomotor competencies and establish the minimum expected competence levels for graduating medical students across 11 clinical and diagnostic support specialties in Brazil using a modified Delphi process.
methodsThis national consensus-development study used a two-phase, two-round modified Delphi process coordinated by the Brazilian Medical Association. Preliminary specialty-specific catalogues were developed between February and June 2025 by Scientific Committees from 11 specialty societies, which also proposed the minimum expected competence level for each psychomotor competency statement. Round 1 of the modified Delphi process was conducted from August to December 2025, and Round 2 was conducted from February to June 2026. Board-certified physicians evaluated each competency-competence level combination using a five-point Likert scale. Consensus was predefined as ≥75% agreement. Statements achieving <60% agreement were excluded after Round 1, whereas those achieving 60.0-74.9% agreement were revised and reassessed in Round 2. Additional competency statements proposed during Round 1 were evaluated in Round 2.
resultsA total of 667 physicians participated in Round 1, and 499 completed Round 2. The preliminary catalogues comprised 346 psychomotor competency statements; 240 (69.4%) achieved consensus and 106 (30.6%) were excluded. Participants proposed 38 additional statements, of which 36 (94.7%) achieved consensus in Round 2. The Part II catalogue comprised 276 specialty-specific psychomotor competency statements, corresponding to 229 unique psychomotor competencies after harmonization. Most competency statements were classified as perform independently (n=195), followed by perform under supervision (n=62) and master the technique (n=19).
conclusionThis modified Delphi study established Part II of the National Consensus Catalogue of essential psychomotor competencies and minimum expected competence levels for graduating medical students, encompassing 11 clinical and diagnostic support specialties in Brazil.
