Cadaver surgical training and research using donated cadavers in the field of surgery in Japan: an overview of reports from 2012 to 2021.
Article in Surgery today, 2023. 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
purposeSubsequent to the publication of "Guidelines for cadaver dissection in education and research of clinical medicine" in 2012, cadaver surgical training (CST) was implemented in various surgical fields across Japan. This article summarizes the recent progress made in the implementation of CST using donated cadavers, and its associated research, focusing on the field of surgery, and discusses its future direction.
methodsAll reports from 2012 to 2021 registered with the CST Promotion Committee of the Japan Surgical Society were analyzed. There were 292 (24.9%) programs in the field of surgery, including acute care surgery, out of a total of 1173 programs overall. Data were classified by the purpose of implementations and fields of surgery, with subclassification by organ, costs and participation fees.
resultsCST and its research were introduced in 27 (33.3%) of a total 81 universities. The total number of participants was 5564 and the major (80%) purpose of the program was to advance surgical techniques. When classified by objectives, 65, 59 and 11% were for mastering operations for malignant disease, minimally invasive surgery, and transplantation surgery, respectively.
conclusionCST in the field of surgery is increasing progressively in Japan, but still with disproportionate dissemination. Further efforts are needed to achieve full adoption.
