Application of virtual simulation in clinical skills and operation courses.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Aim: This study investigated the effectiveness and prospect of applying virtual simulation operation (VSO) as a novel teaching tool in clinical skill and operation courses. Methods: A comparative test and survey study on the teaching effect of VSO was conducted with the clinical skill and operation course as the test course. The test group students received offline courses combined with online VSO practice. In contrast, the control group students received offline courses combined with instructional video review. The two groups were assessed using the Chinese medical school clinical medicine professional level test and a questionnaire survey. Results: The test group students scored significantly higher than the control group in the skills test (score difference: 3.43, 95% CI: 2.05-4.80) ( Conclusion: VSO teaching can improve skills and examination performance. An entirely online operation that does not need special equipment can break through the spatiotemporal limitations of traditional skills courses. VSO teaching also suits the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic situation. Virtual simulation, a new teaching tool, has good application prospects.
