Review in Current urology reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purpose of reviewPostgraduate medical training has evolved considerably from an emphasis on hands-on, autonomous learning to a paradigm where simulation technologies are used to introduce and augment certain skill sets. This review is intended to provide an update on surgical simulators and tools for urological trainee education. RECENT

findingsWe provide an overview of simulation platforms for robotics, endoscopy, and laparoscopic practice and training. In general, these simulators provide face, content, and construct validity. Various educational and evaluation tools have been adopted. Simulation platforms have been developed for technical and non-technical surgical skills, educational bootcamps, and tools for evaluation and feedback. While trainees find the opportunity to practice their skills beneficial, there may be difficulty with access due to cost and availability. Additionally, there is a need for more objective metrics demonstrating improvement in skill or patient outcome.
