1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a neuroimaging tool for studying brain activity in mobile subjects. Open-access fNIRS datasets are limited to simple and/or motion-restricted tasks. Here, we report a fNIRS dataset acquired on mobile subjects performing Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) tasks in a laboratory environment. Demonstrating competency in the FLS tasks is a prerequisite for board certification in general surgery in the United States. The ASTaUND data set was acquired over four different studies. We provide the relevant information about the hardware, FLS task execution protocols, and subject demographics to facilitate the use of this open-access data set. We also provide the concurrent FLS scores, a quantitative metric for surgical skill assessment developed by the FLS committee. This data set is expected to support the growing field of assessing surgical skills via neuroimaging data and provide an example of data processing pipeline for use in realistic, non-restrictive environments.
