A comparison of the characteristics and precision of needle driving for right-handed pediatric surgeons between right and left driving using a model of infant laparoscopic diaphragmatic hernia repair.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
purposeWe compared the characteristics and precision of right and left needle driving for right-handed pediatric surgeons using a laparoscopic diaphragmatic repair model.
methodsEighteen right-handed pediatric surgeons performed three needle driving maneuvers using both hands. We evaluated the required time and conducted an image analysis. The total path length, velocity, and acceleration of the needle driving were also evaluated.
resultsObtained results show the findings for the required time (s, Rt 310.78 ± 148.93 vs. Lt 308.61 ± 122.53, p = 0.93), sum of needle driving balances (mm, Rt 5.23 ± 2.44 vs. Lt 5.05 ± 3.17, p = 0.83), the gap of the needle driving interval (Rt 1.2 ± 0.93 vs. Lt 2.17 ± 1.67, p = 0.04), total path length (mm, Rt 594.03 ± 205.29 vs. Lt 1641.07 ± 670.68, p < 0.01), and average velocity (mm/s, Rt 1.92 ± 0.54 vs. Lt 5.3 ± 1.39, p < 0.01).
conclusionFor right-handed pediatric surgeons, left needle driving showed almost same quality of right needle driving as regarding the precision. But left needle driving also showed too fast but not economical movement unfortunately, implying rough and risky forceps manipulation. Non-dominant hand training is necessary to avoid organ injury.
