Characterization of force and torque interactions during a simulated transgastric appendectomy procedure.

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
We have developed an instrumented endoscope grip handle equipped with a six-axis load cell and measured forces and torques during a simulated transgastric natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery appendectomy procedure performed in an EASIE-R ex vivo simulator. The data were collected from ten participating surgeons of varying degrees of expertise which was analyzed to compute a set of six force and torque parameters for each coordinate axis for each of the nine tasks of the appendectomy procedure. The mean push/pull force was found to be 3.64 N (σ = 3.54 N) in the push direction and the mean torque was 3.3 N · mm (σ = 38.6 N · mm) in the counterclockwise direction about the push/pull axis. Most interestingly, the force and torque data about the nondominant x and z axes showed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) between the expert and novice groups for five of the nine tasks. These data may be useful in developing surgical platforms especially new haptic devices and simulation systems for emerging natural orifice procedures.
