Impact of visual-spatial ability on laparoscopic camera navigation training.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundTechnical limitations of minimally invasive surgery challenge both surgeons and camera assistants. Current research indicates that visual-spatial ability (VSA) has impact on learning of laparoscopic camera navigation (LCN). However, it remains unclear if complexity of LCN tasks influences the impact of VSA. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of VSA on LCN training within tasks of different complexity levels.
methodsThe present study was conducted as a monocentric prospective trial. VSA was assessed with a cube comparison test before participants underwent LCN training. LCN training consisted of three tasks with increasing complexity. Each task was performed four times and performance was assessed each time. Correlations and multivariate regression analysis were used to assess the influence of VSA on LCN skills.
resultsSeventy-one participants were included (35 males). Significant performance improvement and faster completion times were observed from the first to fourth trial of all three LCN training tasks. Significant positive correlations between VSA and performance on LCN task 3 were found (performance: r
conclusionIn the present study, all trainees improved LCN performance during the training. VSA seems to have impact on LCN performance and training progress particularly for complex LCN tasks. The relation of VSA and LCN performance was stronger for less experienced participants and in the beginning of the learning phase.
