Experience with a novel laparoscopic gynecologic curriculum in Haiti: lessons in implementation.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
backgroundAn estimated one-third of the world's burden of disease requires surgical treatment. In many high-income nations, a large proportion of critical surgical procedures are performed laparoscopically due to a number of advantages the technique offers. There is forward progress in the global surgery field to increase access to laparoscopic techniques in low and middle-income settings (LMIC), with potential benefits to both patients and surgeons.
methodsA week long laparoscopic surgery curriculum for surgeons and hospital staff was designed and implemented in a low-resource setting. An iterative design was used to adapt the curriculum on the ground.
resultsThe local laparoscopic team was able to independently perform two laparoscopic procedures since the course was administered.
conclusionsImplementing laparoscopic surgery programs may be feasible in many LMIC settings. Access to this care may benefit patients. Lessons learned for the global laparoscopist are described.
