Video Review Can Measure Surgical Robotic Skill Development in a Resident Robotic Hernia Curriculum: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

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
Background: Hernia repairs are one of the most common general surgery procedures and an essential part of training for general surgery residents. The widespread incorporation of robotic hernia repairs warrants the development of a procedure-specific robotic curriculum to assist novice surgeons in improving technical skills. Objective: To evaluate a robotic hernia simulation-based curriculum for general surgery residents using video review. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of PGY-3 general surgery residents from the University of Chicago from 2019 to 2021. The residents completed inguinal hernia repair (IHR) and ventral hernia repair (VHR) drills as part of a robotic simulation curriculum. The drills were recorded and graded according to the modified objective structured assessment of technical skills (OSATS) and time to completion. The drills were completed by 3 attending surgeons to establish gold-standard benchmarks. Results: In total, 20 residents started the curriculum, 19 completed all IHR drills and 17 completed all VHR drills. Attending surgeon total OSATS scores and time to completion were significantly better than the trainees on the first attempt ( Conclusions: The robotic hernia curriculum improved resident performance on hernia repair drills and was well-received by the residents.
