EAES online educational resources: a survey of the membership of the European Association for Endoscopic Surgery (EAES).
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 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
backgroundThe European Association for Endoscopic Surgery (EAES) strives to be a leader in promoting the development and expansion of minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Part of the association's mission statement is "to become an information hub for all practitioners of MIS". It is therefore important that the education segment of the association continues to be actively monitored and updated to ensure this mission statement is met. This project aimed to understand the trainees requirement in fulfilling this role, and to develop an practical action plan to ensure such requirements are adequately met.
methodsTwo sequential questionnaires were sent to all members of the EAES. The questionnaires sought to understand the demographics of the EAES membership, and their training requirements. This followed a Delphi methodology. The data collected included training status, level of competence in laparoscopic surgery and tools needed for improving laparoscopic skills.
resultsFour hundred and sixty-five responded to the first survey, and 209 responded to the second survey. There were 112 trainees (24.1%) in the first round. More than 50% of trainees were less than 8 years from graduation from medical school. Only 162 (34.8%) of respondents performed MIS in more than half their practice. Videos of common procedures were ranked the highest in terms of what trainees required to help improve their laparoscopic skills, followed by e-learning modules.
conclusionThere is a significant training gap identified amongst the trainee population of the EAES with regards to MIS training. Trainees were not performing MIS enough for them to feel confident with their skills. The EAES could fulfill this training requirement via expertly curated videos, and e-learning modules written by senior specialists.
