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

Objective: In addition to patient consent, learning sonography requires considerable time and personnel resources. To implement patient-friendly and resource-saving ultrasound teaching, a comprehensively equipped sonography simulator (SoSim) was purchased at the Medical Interprofessional Training Centre (MITZ) of the Faculty of Medicine at TU Dresden. In a first step, the SoSim training was trialed in a sample (n=5) in cooperation with the Clinic and Polyclinic for Gynecology and Obstetrics at Dresden University Hospital (GYN). Based on the findings, the aim is to extend the project to University Medicine Dresden. Description of the project: After creating the necessary structural and organizational conditions, five female GYN trainees trained two defined modules in SoSim on transvaginal and abdominal ultrasound. The evaluation was carried out by online-based evaluation of the participants and process analysis. Results: The process analysis showed that close supervision of the learners is required and that booking individual appointments is time-consuming. The evaluation of the participants showed a positive mean change in the approval ratings for 11 out of 14 competency-based questions. Conclusion: Despite the integrated SoSim learning program, support for learners is necessary. By piloting the use of SoSim to teach transvaginal ultrasound as part of gynecological specialist training, University Medicine Dresden is a pioneer in innovative and patient-friendly teaching. The pilot project has laid the foundations for the expansion of the project into other areas.
