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

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented changes in healthcare and surgical training, with elective operating reduced or stopped, conferences rearranged and examinations cancelled. Trainees and trainers have adapted, creating innovative and resourceful ways to continue learning, enabling progression through surgical training. With rising COVID-19 cases across the world and further waves of infections likely, we reflect on recent changes to surgical training and discuss how best to support the next generation of surgeons during this period of uncertainty.
