An integrated pathology and ultrasonography-based simulation for training in performing kidney biopsy .
Article in Clinical nephrology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundMedical practice trends and limitations in trainees' duty hours have diminished the interest and exposure of nephrology fellows to percutaneous kidney biopsy (PKB). We hypothesized that an integrated nephrology-pathology-led simulation may be an effective educational tool. MATERIALS AND
methodsA 4-hour PKB simulation workshop (KBSW), led by two ultrasonography (US)-trained nephrologists and two nephropathologists, consisted of 6 stations: 1) diagnostic kidney US with live patients, 2) kidney pathology with plasticine models of embedded torso cross-sections, 3) US-based PKB with mannequin (Blue Phantom™), 4) kidney pathology with dissected cadavers, 5) US-based PKB in lightly-embalmed cadavers, and 6) tissue retrieval adequacy examination by microscope. A 10-question survey assessing knowledge acquisition and procedural confidence gain was administered pre- and post-KBSW.
results21 participants attended the KBSW and completed the surveys. The overall percentage of correct answers to knowledge questions increased from 55 to 83% (p = 0.016). The number of "extremely confident" answers increased from 0 - 5% to 19 - 28% in all 4 questions (p = 0.02 - 0.04), and the number of "not at all confident" answers significantly decreased from 14 - 62% to 0 - 5% in 3 out of 4 questions (p = 0.0001 - 0.03). Impact of the imparted training on subsequent practice pattern was not assessed.
conclusionA novel KBSW is an effective educational tool to acquire proficiency in PKB performance and could help regain interest among trainees in performing PKBs. .
