The effectiveness of using 3D reconstruction software for surgery to augment surgical education.
Article in American journal of surgery, 2019. 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
backgroundAssimilating diagnostic radiology education into undergraduate medical education remains a challenge. This challenge places a greater emphasis in surgical residency to ensure this education occurs. The objective of this study is to determine whether a 3D-reconstruction may improve surgical residents' assessment of resectability of pancreatic lesions.
methodsFour cases were identified of patients with a pancreatic lesion; high-quality, triphasic abdominal CT scans were obtained and evaluated to ensure sufficient resolution and slice thickness. The images then were used for 3D-reconstruction of the cases.
resultsPGY3-5 residents had a statistically-significant higher percentage of correct answers on objective questionnaire items using CT in conjunction with 3D-reconstruction software versus CT only. PGY1-2 residents had a higher percentage of correct answers using 3D-reconstruction software, but the difference was not statistically significant.
conclusions3D-reconstruction software could be a viable tool to augment radiology education within a surgery residency, especially in CT interpretation, but there appears to be a minimum threshold of knowledge needed for meaningful improvement; therefore, this software may be more useful for PGY3-5 residents than PGY1-2 residents.
