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

backgroundWe explored the feasibility and surgeons' perceptions of the utility of a longitudinal skills performance database.

methodsA 10-station surgical skills assessment center was established at a national scientific meeting. Skills assessment volunteers (n = 189) completed a survey including opinions on practicing surgeons' skills evaluation, ethics, and interest in a longitudinal database. A subset (n = 23) participated in a survey-related interview.

resultsNearly all participants reported interest in a longitudinal database and most believed there is an ethical obligation for such assessments to protect the public. Several interviewees specified a critical role for both formal and informal evaluation is to first create a safe and supportive environment.

conclusionsParticipants support the construction of longitudinal skills databases that allow information sharing and establishment of professional standards. In a constructive environment, structured peer feedback was deemed acceptable to enhance and diversify surgeon skills. Large scale skills testing is feasible and scientific meetings may be the ideal location.
