Knowledge and confidence levels improvement among obstetrics residents regarding caesarean section training using video-mannequins combination.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. 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
Background: Cesarean section rates are increasing worldwide. Obstetrics and gynecology residents are required to be experts in this surgery to provide safe procedures. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic situation, an alternative teaching strategy is needed to achieve adequate cesarean section skills. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of video, mannequins, and the combination of video mannequins on residents' knowledge and confidence regarding cesarean section. Method: A Results: Video (0.42(CI95%-0.11-0.9)), mannequin simulation (0.60(CI95%-0.04-1.25)), and the combination of video-mannequin (1.3(CI95%0.73-1.93)) significantly increased resident's knowledge regarding caesarean section skill. Study participant showed increased scores regarding confidence in their caesarean section skills according to all learning subjects (p < 0.05) but a difference in confidence level occurred in level Conclusion: The combination of videos and mannequin simulations is the best method for increasing knowledge of cesarean sections, compared to single video and mannequin simulations. The confidence level has been shown to increase in all subject studies but the effectiveness at each level of resident needs to be investigated further.
