1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

BACKGROUND/

aimsAnatomical variations are frequently encountered during hepato-biliary-pancreatic surgeries, requiring surgeons to have a precise understanding of the surgical anatomy in order to perform a safe surgery. We evaluated the impact of novel three-dimensional (3D) surgical simulation on pancreatic surgeries to enhance surgical residents' understanding. METHODOLOGY: Between January 2013 and May 2014, 61 preoperative 3D surgical simulations were performed. The consistency (0-10, with 10 representing 100% consistency) among the 15 surgical residents' anatomical drawings from multidetector computed tomography images and the simulated 3D images by SYNAPSE VINCENT® was assessed. We divided the surgical residents into two groups - first- to fifth-year postgraduate doctors (group A) and sixth- to tenth-year postgraduate doctors (group B) - and compared the self-assessment scores between these two groups.

resultsIn terms of the self-assessment scores, a statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups (

conclusionsIn this study, 3D surgical simulation was useful for preoperative assessments prior to pancreatic surgery, especially in younger postgraduate surgeons.
