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

purposeTo ensure the safe prevalence of pediatric endoscopic surgery in Japan, a training curriculum should be established. In addition, the number of pediatric surgical cases is decreasing due to the decreasing birth rate in Japan, and it is necessary to clarify the number of surgical cases required for young pediatric surgeons to achieve autonomy in pediatric endoscopic surgery.

methodsAn online nationwide survey was conducted among young pediatric surgeons with 3-15 years of clinical experience in Japan. We assessed training experience, opinions concerning the ideal training curriculum, and the correlation between surgical experience and the level of autonomy for pediatric endoscopic surgeries.

resultsOne hundred seventy participants responded to the survey (response rate: 35.2%). Only 18% answered that their training facility had a regular educational off-the-job training program. Ninety percent of respondents answered that an educational curriculum for pediatric endoscopic surgery was necessary. It took 11-20 cases to achieve autonomy in laparoscopic appendectomy and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.

conclusionThis survey revealed that off-the-job training programs were insufficient. The results of this study are expected to aid in the establishment of an effective curriculum for pediatric endoscopic surgery in the era of declining birth rates.
