Simulation in Perioperative Liver Transplant Anesthesia: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Due to the complexity of liver transplant patients and the variability in exposure to transplantation by anesthesia trainees, simulation is often required as an adjunct to clinical experience. This systematic review identifies current simulation models in the literature that pertain to perioperative liver transplant anesthesia. Data were collected by performing an electronic search of the PubMed and Scopus databases for articles describing simulation in transplant anesthesia. Abstracts were screened using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Three reviewers analyzed 16 abstracts found in the search and agreed upon articles that met the inclusion criteria for the systematic review. A total of five publications met the inclusion criteria; they could be grouped as cognitive skills and technical skills simulators. Cognitive skills simulators utilized high-fidelity mannequins and animal models combined with traditional educational material to enhance pattern recognition of critical complications during liver transplantation. One manuscript focused on a technical skills acquisition by utilizing transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to identify intraoperative pathologies. There is a heterogeneity in the exposure to liver transplant care during anesthesia training. Simulation provides low-stakes exposure to the high-stakes skills required in the operating room. Hence, it can be used as an adjunct to improve both cognitive and technical skill acquisition for perioperative transplant anesthesia. The goal of these simulation programs is to improve patient outcomes and produce more capable anesthesiologists.
