Hysteroscopic suture of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system: learning curve for in vitro simulation training.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo simulate hysteroscopic suturing in vitro and analyze the learning curve of gynecologists with different experience levels.
methodsThree gynecologists were trained on uterine models in a circulating water box. The posterior uterine wall was sutured 10 times under hysteroscopy for 5 consecutive days, and the time of each suture procedure was recorded.
resultsDoctors A, B, and C completed 50 posterior uterine sutures. After Dr. C completed 50 sutures on the posterior wall, he added 50 sutures on the anterior wall (Group D). The mean suturing time was 71.54 ± 68.158 s in Group A, 50.10 ± 28.060 s in Group B, 34.04 ± 10.457 s in Group C, and 30.38 ± 8.734 s in Group D. The difference between Groups C and B and between Groups B and A was statistically significant. There was no statistically significant difference between Groups C and D. Simulation curves were created using the number of features as the abscissa and cumulative sum as the coordinate, with peak curves of 19, 27, and 18 cases for Group A, B, and C, respectively.
conclusionDoctors with experience in single-hole laparoscopic surgery or hysteroscopic suture surgery can significantly shorten the hysteroscopic suturing time.
