Self-assessment of Competence in Endoscopy: Challenges and Insights.
Article in Journal of the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundEndoscopists use self-assessment to monitor the development and maintenance of their skills. The accuracy of these self-assessments, which reflects how closely one's own rating corresponds to an external rating, is unclear.
methodsIn this narrative review, we critically examine the current literature on self-assessment in gastrointestinal endoscopy with the aim of informing training and practice and identifying opportunities to improve the methodological rigor of future studies.
resultsIn the seven included studies, the evidence regarding self-assessment accuracy was mixed. When stratified by experience level, however, novice endoscopists were least accurate in their self-assessments and tended to overestimate their performance. Studies examining the utility of video-based interventions using observation of expert benchmark performances show promise as a mechanism to improve self-assessment accuracy among novices.
conclusionsBased on the results of this review, we highlight problematic areas, identify opportunities to improve the methodological rigor of future studies on endoscopic self-assessment and outline potential avenues for further exploration.
