Model-based individual life-spanning documentation in visceral surgery: a proof of concept.
Article in International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery, 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
introductionSurgical documentation has many implications. However, its primary function is to transfer information about surgical procedures to other medical professionals. Thereby, written reports describing procedures in detail are the current standard, impeding comprehensive understanding of patient-individual life-spanning surgical course, especially if surgeries are performed at a timely distance and in diverse facilities. Therefore, we developed a novel model-based approach for documentation of visceral surgeries, denoted as 'Surgical Documentation Markup-Modeling' (SDM-M). MATERIAL AND
methodsFor scientific evaluation, we developed a web-based prototype software allowing for creating hierarchical anatomical models that can be modified by individual surgery-related markup information. Thus, a patient's cumulated 'surgical load' can be displayed on a timeline deploying interactive anatomical 3D models. To evaluate the possible impact on daily clinical routine, we performed an evaluation study with 24 surgeons and advanced medical students, elaborating on simulated complex surgical cases, once with classic written reports and once with our prototypical SDM-M software.
resultsLeveraging SDM-M in an experimental environment reduced the time needed for elaborating simulated complex surgical cases from 354 ± 85 s with the classic approach to 277 ± 128 s. (p = 0.00109) The perceived task load measured by the Raw NASA-TLX was reduced significantly (p = 0.00003) with decreased mental (p = 0.00004) and physical (p = 0.01403) demand. Also, time demand (p = 0.00041), performance (p = 0.00161), effort (p = 0.00024), and frustration (p = 0.00031) were improved significantly. DISCUSSION: Model-based approaches for life-spanning surgical documentation could improve the daily clinical elaboration and understanding of complex cases in visceral surgery. Besides reduced workload and time sparing, even a more structured assessment of individual surgical cases could foster improved planning of further surgeries, information transfer, and even scientific evaluation, considering the cumulative 'surgical load.'
conclusionLife-spanning model-based documentation of visceral surgical cases could significantly improve surgery and workload.
