Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? OSATS was the most frequently used TS tool; of 16 studies using variations of OSATS, only 9 used variations with validity evidence. → Gamborg ML 2024

Synthesis of assessment tools used across included studies, charted per publication. The review reports "Sixteen studies used variations of OSATS to assess TS [37], but only 9 of these used variations including validity evidence." Table 1 additionally lists 52 studies using OSATS itself with validity evidence.

Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- NOTSS was the most used NTS tool with strong validity evidence, but self-assessment without validity evidence was the most frequent form of NTS assessment (n=78) — related
- 149 of the included studies assessed both skill sets but did not test for correlation between NTS and TS — related
- Among correlation-testing studies, leadership and decision making (n=14 each) were the most common NTS tested, and surgical performance (n=27) the most common TS correlated with NTS — related
- Adjunctive VR classroom training produces higher validated robotic skills scores than self-directed simulator learning alone in novice trainees — related
- Among 203 included studies assessing both technical and non-technical skills, only 46 tested for a correlation, and 40 of those found a positive correlation — related
