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

introductionThe use of elbow arthroscopy is becoming increasingly common in orthopaedic practice; nevertheless, it is still considered a difficult procedure with a long learning curve. The aim of the study is to evaluate the role of a new elbow Sawbone-Based Arthroscopy Module (e-SBAM) in the training of elbow surgeons.

methodsFourteen surgeons were classified as "Expert" (

results"Not-expert" surgeons needed significantly more time (41 s; range 26-120) than "Expert" ones (13 s; range 8-36) to complete Performance 1. One "Not-expert" surgeon did not complete Performance 1 and needed more than 120 s for Performance 2. The whole study group required a median of 5 s less to complete Performance 2. A tendency towards an improvement was observed in the group of the non-experienced surgeons as compared with the experienced ones.

conclusionsThe simulation training can be advantageous in the learning curve of young elbow surgeons and helpful for experienced surgeons. E-SBAM can be used as an effective tool for the current stepwise arthroscopic elbow training programs with the aim of improving arthroscopic elbow skills. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Basic Science Study.
