Use of Endovascular Simulator in Training of Neurosurgery Residents - A Review and Single Institution Experience.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Simulators for surgical procedures and interventions have undergone significant technological advancement in the past decade and are becoming more commonplace in medical training. Neurosurgery residents across multiple training levels underwent performance evaluation using a neuro-interventional simulator, employing a variety of metrics for assessment. We identified seven core metrics used in the evaluation of neurosurgery residents performing simulated mechanical thrombectomies. Additionally, a systematic PubMed search for studies related to Neurointerventional Radiology training via simulation was performed. The purpose of this study is to examine the validity and benefits of training with these simulation devices and compare our institution's experience. Additionally, an exploration of their applicability to neurosurgery resident training is discussed.
