Three-dimensional vision versus two-dimensional vision on laparoscopic performance of trainee surgeons: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Updates in surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Laparoscopic surgery underwent great improvements during the last few years. This review aims to compare the performance of Trainee Surgeons using 2D versus 3D/4 K laparoscopy. A systematic review of the literature was done on Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane's Library and Scopus. The following words and key phrases have been searched: "Two-dimensional vision", "Three-dimensional vision", "2D and 3D laparoscopy", "Trainee surgeons". This systematic review was reported according to the PRISMA statement 2020. PROSPERO registration No. CRD42022328045. Twenty-two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and two observational studies were included in the systematic review. Two trials were carried out in a clinical setting, and twenty-two trials were performed in a simulated setting. In studies involving the use of a box trainer, the number of errors in the 2D laparoscopic group was significantly higher than in the 3D laparoscopic group during the performance of FLS skill tasks: peg transfer (MD: -0.82; 95% CI - 1.17 to - 0.47; p < 0.00001), cutting (MD: - 1.09; 95% CI - 1.50 to - 0.69 p < 0.00001), suturing (MD: - 0.48; 95% CI - 0.83 to - 0.13 p = 0.007), However, in clinical studies, there was no significant difference in the time taken for laparoscopic total hysterectomy (MD: 8.71; 95% CI - 13.55 to 30.98; p = 0.44) and vaginal cuff closure (MD: 2.00; 95% CI - 0.72 to - 4.72; p = 0.15) between 2D group and 3D group. 3D laparoscopy facilitates learning for novice surgeons and shows improvements in their laparoscopic performance.
