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

aimThe aim of this study was to evaluate the novice performance of advanced bimanual laparoscopic skills using the articulating FlexDex

methodsIn this prospective randomised trial, novices (n=40) without laparoscopic experience were recruited from a university cohort and randomised into two groups, which used the FlexDex

resultsThe intervention group that used FlexDex

conclusionCombination of 3D visual systems and the FlexDex KEY STATEMENT: 3D visual systems lead to faster task completion times when combined with an articulating laparoscopic needle holder compared to 2D vision. This effect however is not seen in error rates.
