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

Reduced depth perception due to two-dimensional (2D) visualization of a three-dimensional (3D) space represents a main challenge in acquiring basic laparoscopic skills (BLS); 3D visualization might increase training efficiency. This study aimed to assess whether BLS training on a standard box trainer using 2D is at least equally effective compared to 3D. Medical students were randomized to training of Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) tasks using either 2D or 3D for four weeks. Baseline and post-training tests were performed using the assigned visualization modality. Data of 31 participants were analyzed (
