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

ObjectiveTo evaluate the features, anatomic accuracy, and educational value of a high-fidelity bilateral cleft lip simulator.DesignEvaluation of the simulator by expert cleft surgeons after performing a simulated bilateral cleft lip repair.SettingThe simulator was evaluated by the surgeons during the Latin American Craniofacial Association meeting.ParticipantsEleven experienced cleft surgeons evaluated the simulator. The cleft surgeons were selected based on their availability during the meeting.InterventionsThe participants performed a simulated bilateral cleft lip repair. They were each provided with a questionnaire assessing the simulator's features, realism and value as a training tool.Main Outcome Measure (s)The main outcome measure are the scores obtained from a Likert-type questionnaire assessing the simulators features, realism and value.ResultsOverall, the surgeons agreed with the simulator's realism and anatomic accuracy (average score of 3.7 out of 5). Overall, the surgeons strongly agreed with the value of the simulator as a training tool (average score of 4.6 out of 5).ConclusionsA high-fidelity bilateral cleft lip simulator was developed that is realistic and valuable as a training tool. The simulator provides a comprehensive training platform to gain hands-on experience in bilateral cleft lip repair before operating on real patients.
