Urology resident training in laparoscopic surgery - results of the first national survey in Poland.
Article in Wideochirurgia i inne techniki maloinwazyjne = Videosurgery and other miniinvasive techniques, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
introductionFor many urological procedures the open approach is being replaced by the laparoscopic approach. Laparoscopy technique requires special training conditions. A well-designed, step-by step training program is significantly important for shortening the learning curve.
aimThe purpose of the study was to evaluate urology residents' (UR) experience in laparoscopic procedures, training patterns and facilities available in departments of urology in Poland. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe survey developed by the authors included 18 questions concerning laparoscopy training and was distributed among UR who participated in 2 courses in laparoscopic surgery for UR in Poland in 2017. The survey consisted of questions regarding the number of laparoscopic procedures, acquired laparoscopic experience, laparoscopic simulation training and motivation for further learning.
resultsOf the 2017 invited UR in Poland, 108 (34%) completed the survey. Seventy-two (78%) UR from the study group have access to laparoscopic surgery in their department. Only 20 (25%) of urology departments are equipped with a laparoscopy box and a small number of UR perform regular training. As a primary operator basic (varicocele repair) and advanced (e.g. radical nephrectomy, radical prostatectomy, nephron-sparing surgery) laparoscopic procedures are performed respectively by 55 (71%) UR and 8 (10%) UR. Most residents evaluated their laparoscopic skills as poor (15, 19%), very poor (31, 40%) or absent (10, 13%), while only 22 (28%) evaluated them as at least satisfactory.
conclusionsLaparoscopic technique is available in most Polish training centers. However, the majority of UR consider their skills unsatisfactory. Additionally, a large number of Polish UR do not have access to intensive training. UR considered that their availability of training courses and fellowships is low. Surgical exposure among Polish UR comprises mainly minor laparoscopic procedures.
