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

introductionUnilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE) is a minimally invasive surgical (MIS) technique utilized for lumbar decompression, which has recently gained popularity in Europe. We aimed to explore the value of sequential adaptive e-learning, followed by simulator-based hands-on training modules for UBE at the occasion of the 2024 EANS Young Neurosurgeons meeting. MATERIALS AND

methodsAn adaptive e-learning was designed by learning engineers (Area 9 Lyceum), based on theoretical content provided by two endoscopic spine surgeons. A two-module simulator training, consisting of an insight-the-box model (basic tasks for eye-hand coordination), followed by a realistic lumbar spine model (execution of an endoscopic decompression) was developed. Course participants completed the e-learning before the hands-on training course. Course experience was evaluated through a standardized self-assessment questionnaire containing a 5-point Likert scale and a 10-point numeric rating scale.

resultsEleven of eighteen (61%) participants with different levels of professional education (62.5% residents in 1 DISCUSSION AND

conclusionSequential e-learning and simulator training appear to be an effective educational adjunct to establish novel, MIS-techniques such as UBE.
