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
purposeFor an in-depth analysis of the learning benefits that a stereoscopic view presents during endoscopic training, surgeons required a custom surgical evaluation system enabling simulator independent evaluation of endoscopic skills. Automated surgical skill assessment is in dire need since supervised training sessions and video analysis of recorded endoscope data are very time-consuming. This paper presents a first step towards a multimodal training evaluation system, which is not restricted to certain training setups and fixed evaluation metrics.
methodsWith our system we performed data fusion of motion and muscle-action measurements during multiple endoscopic exercises. The exercises were performed by medical experts with different surgical skill levels, using either two or three-dimensional endoscopic imaging. Based on the multi-modal measurements, training features were calculated and their significance assessed by distance and variance analysis. Finally, the features were used automatic classification of the used endoscope modes.
resultsDuring the study, 324 datasets from 12 participating volunteers were recorded, consisting of spatial information from the participants' joint and right forearm electromyographic information. Feature significance analysis showed distinctive significance differences, with amplitude-related muscle information and velocity information from hand and wrist being among the most significant ones. The analyzed and generated classification models exceeded a correct prediction rate of used endoscope type accuracy rate of 90%.
conclusionThe results support the validity of our setup and feature calculation, while their analysis shows significant distinctions and can be used to identify the used endoscopic view mode, something not apparent when analyzing time tables of each exercise attempt. The presented work is therefore a first step toward future developments, with which multivariate feature vectors can be classified automatically in real-time to evaluate endoscopic training and track learning progress.
