Training for next generation surgeons: a pilot study of robot-assisted hysterectomy managed by resident using dual console.
Observational study in Archives of gynecology and obstetrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeTo assess feasibility of a standardized robot-assisted hysterectomy managed by resident and supervised by senior surgeon using dual-console on a 21-step grid (max score = 42) assessing resident autonomy.
methodsA total of seven patients managed between September 2019 and March 2020 by six residents in gynecology and obstetrics were included. Standardized robot-assisted hysterectomy for endometrial cancer or adenomyosis was performed.
resultsNo conversion to laparotomy, no intra- or post-operative incidents were reported. Mean score on the evaluation scale was 29.8 out of 42 (SD = 7.3). Mean operative time was 104 min (SD = 23). Mean average suturing time was, respectively, 335 s (SD = 57 s) and 270 s (SD = 53 s) for the first and the fourth knot. There was a 65 s improvement between the first and the fourth intracorporeal knot (p = 0.043). The perceived workload evaluated with the NASA TLX score showed a low level of stress (Temporal demand = 1.6 /10), and a low level of frustration (Frustration level = 3.6/10). Experience gained during the surgery was felt to be important (Commitment = 8.6/10).
conclusionStandardized robot-assisted hysterectomy managed by a resident supervised by a senior surgeon using the dual-console seems feasible. This tool could be useful to assess residents' surgical skills.
