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? Pre- to post-training communication and teamwork scores increased by approximately 2–3 points in studies reporting numeric change. → Gulnaz Nadia 2026
q3 i? NOTSS subdomains (situation awareness, decision-making, communication, teamwork) typically rated 2.8–3.5 on 4-point scales. → Gulnaz Nadia 2026

Descriptive synthesis across the 12 included studies in this systematic review. The review reports that "Communication and teamwork scores increased by approximately 2–3 points" and that NOTSS domain means typically ranged from 2.8–3.5 on 4-point scales; no pooled effect size was calculated.
"Communication and teamwork scores increased by approximately 2–3 points, and Non-Technical Skills for Surgeons (NOTSS) domain means typically ranged from 2.8–3.5 on 4-point scales."
