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

Background: Ultrasound has emerged as an important diagnostic tool in the management of multiple obstetric pathologies. However, the poor skills of trainee doctors in the application of ultrasound can significantly impact clinical outcomes. To overcome these challenges, simulation-based training can bridge the gap in skills and enhance the quality of patient care. Materials and methods: The ultrasound simulation training curriculum involved virtual-reality simulator training to assist residents in acquiring competencies for accurate and holistic care of pregnant patients and complicated pregnancies. After hands-on training on the simulator, evaluation was done using pre- and post-tests based on the Objective Structured Assessment of Ultrasound Skills (OSAUS) scale and image-based questionnaire. Quantitative data was compared using paired Result: A total 28 resident doctors completed the study. Participants reported an increase in mean response score to the image-based questionnaire following the training, with a mean pre-score of 9.86/15 and mean post-score of 11.43/15 with a mean improvement score 1.57 points (95%CI 1.64-1.5, Conclusion: This study highlights the effectiveness of a simulation-based training curriculum in improving the ability of residents in scanning, especially with regard to a systematic approach and documentation of ultrasound scans. The use of virtual reality ultrasound simulator training can be an effective way to bridge the learning gap in ultrasound scanning.
