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
Objective: To assess the impact of a hysteroscopic myoma resection (HMR) two-day training course on non-technical (cognitive) surgical skills among gynecologists. Materials and methods: A 2-day educational course was held in which 95 consultant gynecologic surgeons and beginner infertility fellowship residents took part. Among all 80 participants (84.2%) had ever performed diagnostic hysteroscopy and 30 (31.3%) had performed non-resectoscopic operative hysteroscopy. The training program included instructive speeches, simulated surgical presentations, and a live hands-on myomectomy workshop. Non-technical skills were assessed two times, once before and the other after the course through two written tests with 10 multiple-choice questions for each. Results: Concerning the 95 participants, 43 (47.3%) took the pre-course test and all of them (100%) took the post-course one. The mean score improved significantly from 3 (interquartile range [IQR], 0-4.0) to 7 (IQR, 5.0- 8.0) [bootstrap p<0.0001] for each of the randomly chosen pairings. The majority of candidates showed significantly improved cognitive skills after the HMR course despite their poor cognitive skills before the course. According to further analysis, there were significant enhancements in grades for all topics, especially regarding the basic principles of the procedure and management of complications (bootstrap p<0.0001). The odds ratio for the pre- versus post-course mean test results was 5.23. Due to the confidentiality stipulation, the pre- and post-course scores were not matched. Conclusion: A two-day continuing medical educational course could be efficient in improving the nontechnical (cognitive) skills for HMR.
