Evidence that surgical performance predicts clinical outcomes.
Review in World journal of urology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeAssessment of surgeon performance in the operating room has been identified as a direct method of measuring surgical quality. Studies published in urology and other surgical disciplines have investigated this link directly by measuring surgeon and team performance using methodology supported by validity evidence. This article highlights the key findings of these studies and associated underlying concepts.
methodsSeminal literature from urology and related areas of research was used to inform this review of the performance-outcome relationship in surgery. Current efforts to further our understanding of this concept are discussed, including relevant quality improvement and educational interventions that utilize this relationship.
resultsEvidence from multiple surgical specialties and procedures has established the association between surgeon skill and clinically significant patient outcomes. Novel methods of measuring performance utilize surgeon kinematics and artificial intelligence techniques to more reliably and objectively quantify surgical performance.
conclusionsFuture directions include the use of this data to create interventions for quality improvement, as well as innovate the credentialing and recertification process for practicing surgeons.
