Do-It-Yourself Ultrasonography Phantom Model for Improving Hand Skills: A Technical Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This technical report focuses on developing a do-it-yourself (DIY) model of a water phantom for training in ultrasound-guided needle insertion techniques. Ultrasound technology is becoming more widely used in perioperative and intensive care settings. However, accurate needle placement using ultrasound guidance necessitates strong spatial reasoning and hand-eye coordination. To address this, the authors experimented with a water phantom model that is cost-effective, easily accessible, and efficient for training. The DIY water phantom was made using materials such as an examination glove, a used vial rubber cap, water, adhesive tape, sealing glue, and a target object. This technical report discusses the process of assembling the water phantom and the potential benefits it offers for ultrasound training.
