COVID-19 and the impact on surgical training and education in Singapore.
Review in Heliyon, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected surgical education and training significantly. The main impact to surgical residency training is the reduction in number of patients (in caseload and case mix) and the conversion of face-to-face meetings into virtual ones for CME and clinical governance-related events. Assessment of surgical residents by examination (namely the Joint Specialty Fellowship Examination with the College of Surgeons of Hong Kong and the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh) was cancelled at the peak of the pandemic, with resumption after acceptable COVID compatible adjustment was made to the format. The migration of CME events into a web-based one has resulted in greater connectivity with more audience. The potential and challenges of virtual format in surgical education include strategy and resources for sustainability; choice of optimal model for effective learning and surgical skills acquisition. In a post-COVID world, the model of blended learning is likely to remain.
