Training robotic community surgeons: our experience implementing a robotics curriculum at a rural community general surgery training program.

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
Robotic-assisted surgical procedures are being increasingly used in general surgery, including in the rural and community setting. Although there is no requirement, general surgery residency programs have begun to incorporate curriculums to train residents in this discipline. As a small rural community program, we recently instituted a voluntary and structured curriculum, and our initial experience is shared here. Our curriculum was voluntary for all general surgical residents for the academic years 2016-2017. The curriculum consisted of online training, bedside training, console simulation, bedside assisting, and operating at the console. During the fiscal year of 2016, 193 robot-assisted surgeries performed within the General Surgery Department. Fourteen of fifteen residents participated in the curriculum, with the exception being a resident new to our program. A survey was sent to the residents to evaluate their opinions towards robotic surgery and the curriculum, with 12/15 residents responding. Overall, residents' impressions were very favorable, with all reporting being either very or mostly satisfied with the curriculum and most, 58.4%, reporting there participating level on the robot to be appropriate. Importantly most, 91.7% did not think that the curriculum put an undue stress on their time or that it was detrimental to other aspects of their training. This study shows that a community rural general surgery program can incorporate a voluntary robotic curriculum effectively with high resident participation and satisfaction.
