Simulation and training for pediatric colorectal surgery and anorectal malformation: a scoping review.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeTo study the published literature for various models used for simulation and training in the field of pediatric colorectal surgery.
methodA PubMed search was conducted for studies of simulation models in anorectal malformation on 24 March 2024 with the search words 'simulation pediatric colorectal surgery' followed by another search on 'simulation AND anorectal malformation' that gave 22 and 14 results, respectively (total 36). After removing 4 duplicate publications, 12 were found relevant to simulation and training in colorectal diseases. One publication relevant to the topic was added from literature, thirteen articles were studied.
resultsOf these, 5; 1; 4; and 3 were on inanimate models; animate model; 3D reconstructions; and training, respectively. Simulation models are available for posterior sagittal anorectoplasty. The same inanimate model was used in five articles. The animate model was based on a chicken cadaver. 3D models have been made for personalized preoperative assessment and to understand the imaging in anorectal malformation. One 3D model was made by regeneration of organoid epithelium. Training modules were made to evaluate surgical dissection, standardize surgical techniques, and improve proficiency.
conclusionSimulation models are an important tool for teaching the steps of surgery and discussing the nuances of operative complications among mentors and peers. With advances in this field, the development of high-fidelity models, more training modules, and consensus on surgical techniques will benefit surgical training.
