3D-reconstruction printed models and virtual reality improve teaching in oncological colorectal surgery.
Article in Techniques in coloproctology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07528937 (Randomized Multicenter Study Protocol), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 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.

Abstract
backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the use of 3D image processing and reconstruction (3D-IPR) combined with virtual reality (VR) technology and printed models (PM) as teaching tools in oncological colorectal surgery.
methodsWe designed two courses, one for general surgery trainees and another for young colorectal surgeons, structured around stations of pre-test, anatomical lessons, real-case presentations, 3D-IPR models, VR experiences, and life-size abdominal PM with surgical approach explanations and a final post-test.
resultsFourteen course participants were evaluated. Pre-test scores averaged 5.15, with a median of 5.5, while post-test scores increased to an average of 7.75, with a median score of 8. Course satisfaction surveys indicated high ratings for expectations, duration, relevance, presenter knowledge, teaching materials, communication, and overall course segments, with an average rating exceeding 4.8 out of 5. Results highlight the potential of 3D-IPR, VR, and PM as tools for improving teaching for surgery residents and colorectal surgeons. These technologies offer immersive, risk-free experiences for learners, potentially enhancing skill acquisition and anatomical understanding.
conclusionThis study demonstrates the effectiveness of 3D-IPR, VR, and PM courses in improving understanding of colorectal surgery. As these technologies continue to advance, they offer enhanced immersion and accessibility, transforming surgical education and medical training.
