From the dry lab to the operating room: the first transferability study of hysteroscopic skills.
Trial report in Surgical endoscopy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveThe aim of this study is to prove that a short dry lab training prior to the surgery is efficient to acquire basic hysteroscopic skills and that these skills are transferable directly to the operation theater.
methodsThirty-nine gynecologists who never attended a training course or practiced hysteroscopy before were evaluated. Participants were randomly divided into trainees (n = 21) and control (n = 18). Trainees attended a short time dry lab prior the exposure to the OR. The controls went directly to the OR. Participants were asked to identify the different landmarks of the uterine cavity and to perform a punch biopsy under the supervision of a gynecologist expert in hysteroscopy. A video recording for all the exercises was done, and showed independently to two expert surgeons in hysteroscopy for evaluation. The experts were also asked to distinguish between the trainees and the control.
resultsFor both experts, the trainees' performance was statistically better than that of the controls (p < 0.001) for the identification of the uterus land marks and the punch biopsy. The two experts identified 80.9 and 85.7%, respectively, of the trainees. The participants' subgroup ID and the experts' identification were statistically correlated (p < 0.001).
conclusionA short time dry lab is efficient to acquire basic hysteroscopic skills and these skills are transferable directly to the OR.
