Validation of a Low-Cost Method for Recording and Supervising Otolaryngology Trainee Endoscopies.
Article in Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation, 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
objectives/hypothesisTo design low-cost smartphone adapters for recording otolaryngology trainee and physician extender endoscopies and evaluate their image quality and usability in the inpatient and emergency room (ER) settings. STUDY
designProspective mixed-methods study, including device design, quantitative, and qualitative surveys.
methods3D-printed adapters for rigid and flexible fiberoptic endoscopy were iteratively developed. Three versions of the adapters were provided to otolaryngology trainees, faculty, and physician extenders: phone adapters +/- telescope magnification and tablet/laptop adapters featuring a universal serial bus camera. Surveys including the System Usability Scale (SUS) and questions on image quality, ease of use, and impact on patient care were administered. Images from the adapters and existing recording methods were compared using the Blind/Referenceless Image Spatial Quality Evaluator (BRISQUE) image quality metric.
results20 otolaryngology staff completed the survey (nine residents, one physician assistant, nine attendings, one fellow). SUS scores were excellent with a mean of 77.5 (SD 9.7). There were no significant differences in BRISQUE scores when comparing the smartphone adapters with single-use distal-chip nasopharyngolaryngoscopes and clinic fiberoptic systems (F = 0.7, df = 4, P = 0.5890). The cost to fabricate the phone adapter with/without a telescope and the tablet/laptop adapter was $1.28, $39.38, and $93.84, respectively. Responses to semi-structured questions highlighted positive impact on supervision and collaboration.
conclusionsThere are limited options for recording and supervising otolaryngology trainee endoscopic exams in the inpatient and ER settings. Endoscopic phone adapters designed by 3D printing can generate sufficient image quality and usability for clinical supervision.
