Minimally Trained Analysts Can Perform Fast, Objective Assessment of Orthopedic Technical Skill from Fluoroscopic Images.
Article in IISE transactions on healthcare systems engineering, 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
Skill assessment in orthopedics has traditionally relied on subjective impressions from a supervising surgeon. The feedback derived from these tools may be limited by bias and other practical issues. Objective analysis of intraoperative fluoroscopic images offers an inexpensive, repeatable, and precise assessment strategy without bias. Assessors generally refrain from using the scores of images obtained throughout the operation to evaluate skill for practical reasons. A new system was designed to facilitate rapid analysis of this fluoroscopy via minimally trained analysts. Four expert and four novice analysts independently measured one objective metric for skill using both a custom analysis software and a commercial alternative. Analysts were able to measure the objective metric three times faster when using the custom software, and without a practical difference in accuracy in comparison to the expert analysts using the commercial software. These results suggest that a well-designed fluoroscopy analysis system can facilitate inexpensive, reliable, and objective assessment of surgical skills.
