Application of situational simulation based on the Mini-CEX and DOPS rating scales in urology clinical training.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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: The objective of the study was to investigate the application effect of scenario simulation teaching based on the Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise (Mini-CEX) and direct observation of procedural skills (DOPS) rating scales in urology clinical apprenticeship training. Materials and methods: A total of 32 students from the class of 2015-2017 who completed their traineeship in the Department of Urology of our hospital were selected and divided into a research group and a routine group. Routine teaching was implemented for the trainees in the control group, while situational simulation teaching based on the Mini-CEX and DOPS scoring scales was implemented for the trainees in the research group. The Mini-CEX and DOPS scores and student satisfaction were compared at the time of admission and discharge between the two groups. Results: At the time of admission, there was no statistically significant difference between the Mini-CEX and DOPS scores of the two groups of trainees ( Conclusion: Implementing scenario simulation teaching based on the Mini-CEX and DOPS rating scales in urology clinical traineeship can significantly improve trainees' surgical skills while also leading to high levels of satisfaction with the teaching method.
