Validity of an immersive virtual reality training system for orthognathic surgical education.

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
Virtual reality (VR) has been proven an important supplement for surgical education in medical students. However, studies on immersive VR (iVR) simulation in orthognathic surgical education are limited. This study aimed to assess the validity of the iVR surgical training system for orthognathic surgery. Participants completed questionnaires at the end of the course to assess the validity of the training system. The questionnaires included questions on the experience of using the iVR system and surgical authenticity. Seven experienced surgeons and seven inexperienced students were recruited in this study to use our self-developed iVR training system for orthognathic surgery. The participants showed strong agreement to the fidelity of our training system (4.35 out of 5), including the virtual environment, instruments, anatomy structures, and surgical procedures. The participants also strongly agreed that the iVR technique was essential in imparting surgical education. However, most of the participants experienced some degree of dizziness or fatigue after 1 h of using the system. The iVR training system is a new method for imparting education about orthognathic surgery. The iVR training system can act as a supplement and potential substitute of the traditional surgical training method.
