Anatomical knowledge retention in Obstetrics and Gynaecology residents and impact of an e-learning tool.
Trial report in Surgical and radiologic anatomy : SRA, 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
purposeAnatomical knowledge of medical students and residents is insufficient and further anatomical sciences throughout medical curriculum may be necessary. The first aim of this study was to assess pelvic and perineal anatomical knowledge retention of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (Ob/Gyn) residents. The second was to assess the impact of an e-learning tool on anatomical knowledge.
methodsA survey was sent by mail to medical students and Ob/Gyn residents. After completion, Ob/Gyn residents were randomised to "e-learning" group or to "Control" group. "E-learning" group had an unlimited access to a tool about female pelvic and perineum anatomy, implemented by iMAIOS society in their online platform. A second assessment of residents' anatomical knowledge was done 2 months after randomisation.
resultsOb/Gyn residents (N = 23) had a significant lower global score than third-year medical students (N = 103) (22.1% (± 10.2) vs 43.8% (± 12.1), p < 0.0001). Two months after randomisation, residents of "control" group demonstrated no significant difference between the two questionnaires (3.6%, p = 0.31), whilst the "e-learning" group demonstrated a significant increase overall (10.6%, p = 0.09). There was no significant difference on the post-intervention questionnaire between control and "e-learning" group (25.4% vs 33% respectively, p = 0.34).
conclusionKnowledge of pelvic and perineal anatomy is poor. This e-learning tool aimed at improving anatomical knowledge retention but is not sufficient. A combination of traditional approaches and innovative solutions should be proposed throughout medical school and residency to maintain anatomical knowledge.
