The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on surgical education: A survey and narrative review.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, medical education has been a concerning issue, especially in surgical fields. Due to the postponement of many elective surgeries and even alternations in the pattern of emergent surgeries, concerns have been raised about whether residents of surgical disciplines are experienced enough after graduation or not. We aimed to describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on surgical residency training in different fields. Materials and methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study with a 20-item questionnaire on residents of surgical disciplines from three different educational hospitals of Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Iran in 2020. In addition, we reviewed the current literature regarding the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on surgical education worldwide. Results: Our survey, with a response rate of 56.8% demonstrated significant reduction in the time spent in elective surgeries, surgical clinics and even in emergent surgeries for residents. Besides, it has reported that significant time has been spent in COVID 19 wards which resulted in decreased satisfaction of educational activities. Conclusions: The impacts of COVID 19 pandemic on surgical education are significant and inevitable. Thus, we must integrate novel educational methods in surgical curriculum to optimize training and minimize the adverse effects of the pandemic on surgical education.
