Train Strategies for Haptic and 3D Simulators to Improve the Learning Process in Dentistry Students.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Dental training faces the growing shortage of extracted teeth and the ethical precepts of Bionot learning on patients and reducing the environmental damage that preclinical trainings generate. Haptic and 3D simulators reproduce pathologies and provide a greater magnification of the processes, reducing water expenditure and pollution, but their curricular integration is complex. Two resources of complementary use (informative written manual and video tutorial) were designed to facilitate the theoretical and technical domain (know how the simulator works and make it work), as well as the advanced management of the simulator (operate the simulator autonomously, without setbacks). After 5 years of using these resources, an evaluative study was conducted with 175 students and 32 teachers. The aim was to assess the student's perception of knowledge/learning, its statistical relationship with the didactic resources used and compare these results with the teachers' perception of their students' knowledge/learning. Spearman's Rho coefficient and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test were performed. Both students and teachers considered that the technical domain (make the simulator work) was the domain that prevailed the most. There was a tendency for students not to value much the necessity of a specific preparation prior to using the simulator. This tendency resulted in a low level of study of both the written manual and the video tutorial. In conclusion, both students and teachers considered that the best strategy of knowledge/learning was the direct exchange with the simulator.
