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

Purpose: Due to the pandemic, we restructured our medical student knot-tying simulation to a virtual format. This study evaluated curriculum feasibility and effectiveness. Methods: Over 4 weeks, second-year medical students ( Results: All 229 medical students completed the curriculum within 1-4 h; 1.3% attended an optional tutorial. All videos were assessed: 4.8% "exceeds expectations", 60.7% "meets expectations", and 34.5% "needs remediation." All 79 needing remediation due to critical errors achieved proficiency during 1-h group sessions. IRR Cohen's κ was 0.69 (initial) and 1.0 (ultimate). Task completion time was 56 (47-68) s (median [IQR]); Conclusions: A completely virtual 1-month knot-tying simulation is feasible and effective in achieving proficiency using video-based assessment and as-needed remediation strategies for a large student class.
