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: To systematically review the published literature describing remote alternative educational modalities for plastic surgery residents. Design: Systematic review. Setting: Independent investigators performed searches in the PubMed and Cochrane Library databases using a variety of MeSH terms and search term combinations. These studies were evaluated for inclusion based on PRISMA criteria. Participants: Literature searches were performed from June to December 2020, and articles were collected if they met the inclusion criteria. Studies were also qualitatively assessed to determine whether the described education modality demonstrated high fidelity (anatomic accuracy and similarity to true surgery) and efficacy (improved trainee performance in a standardized skills evaluation). Conclusions: A variety of remote training modalities have been published, including articles describing virtual surgical simulators, virtual and physical anatomic models, and online resources with video modules. Further investigation is needed to evaluate how effectively training received through remote means translates to practice in live clinical scenarios in the operating room. ACGME competency addressed: Practice-based Learning and Improvement.
