A Simplified Abdominal Wall Model to Teach Complex Abdominal Wall Reconstruction.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 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
A simplified and functional abdominal wall model is necessary for surgical education. The utility of such a model encompasses medical student, resident, and fellow education. This is especially relevant in the fields of general surgery and plastic surgery. An abdominal wall model helps with a more complete understanding of abdomen access, hernia repair, and complex abdominal wall reconstruction. Although several models have been proposed, they are expensive and limitations exist due to access, costly repairs, maintenance, and part replacements. There is currently no consensus or widely adopted model used in surgical training programs. We present a simplified abdominal wall model that is inexpensive and easily reproducible.
