Remote simulator training of coronary artery bypass grafting during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.
Article in JTCVS open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesThe coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic presents in-person exposure risk during surgical education. We aimed to validate the feasibility of fully remote faculty-supervised surgical training sessions focused on coronary artery bypass grafting using a synthetic simulator and online videochat software.
methodsThis observational study organized 24 sessions of 2-hour remote training. Each session involved 3 trainees, 1 faculty member, and 1 host. A total of 70 trainees and 24 faculty members were enrolled. The participants joined the remote sessions via online videochat and performed focused training in coronary artery anastomosis using a commercially available simulator. A survey was conducted to validate the feasibility of the remote sessions. Performance improvement of the trainees who repeatedly participated (n = 13) were analyzed comparing initial and final scores of various performance indicators.
resultsAll trainees and faculty members were satisfied with the efficacy of the remote session. Additionally, most trainees (79%) and faculty members (95%) agreed that the remote training sessions were equivalent to conventional onsite training seminars. A significant improvement between initial and last sessions was observed in the scoring components of near side (3.4 ± 1.0 vs 4.1 ± 0.9;
conclusionsFaculty-supervised remote surgical training sessions were executed with satisfactory results. This methodology may have important implications for surgical education during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.
