Supervision of Surgical Trainees During Operative Procedures: Implementation of a Formal Preoperative Surgical Checklist.

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 Trainers in surgery have an educational obligation to train trainees in performing operative procedures. Objective We hypothesized that poor concordance manifests as discrepancies between the trainee and the trainer, with an associated reduction in satisfaction with the training experience, perception of training quality, and completion of workplace-based assessments (WBAs). This study also aimed to validate the novel Supervised Training Operative Procedure (STOP) online tool. Method We developed an online proforma (STOP online tool) and conducted a prospective, single-blinded study of 53 orthopedic operative procedures with 53 trainees between January 19, 2019, and August 27, 2019. Results Forty-four (82%) trainees were listed as the primary surgeon. The overall mean trainee satisfaction (on a 0-10 Likert scale) was 8.25 (range: 3-10), and the mean trainer satisfaction was 8.28 (range: 4-10). A preoperative discussion between the trainee and the trainer occurred in 96.2% of the cases. Forty-eight (91%) trainers preoperatively established trainees' objectives and 91% (n = 48) of the cases showed postoperative completion of objectives. Forty-four (83%) trainers anticipated workplace-based assessment (WBA) completion for trainees, and this translated into 41 (77%) completed WBAs. Overall, 47 (92.9%) trainees felt that the STOP tool would be useful as a surgical training checklist and in the completion of WBAs. Conclusion The STOP checklist is useful in understanding qualitative and quantitative measures of the overall trainee performance of an operative case. This holistic approach will enable us to establish a structured perioperative surgical training checklist, as trainee and trainer requirements are dependent on one another.
