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

Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RAMIS) requires a novice trainee to be proctored by an experienced surgeon. However, there are some obstacles to the traditional method of proctorship, namely costs, geographical barriers, time, and travel logistics. Teleproctoring is a novel method in which a proctor can remotely guide a surgeon during RAMIS. The advantages of teleproctoring include standardization of techniques, reduction in cost and travel time, and overcoming geographical barriers. We herein report our experiences with teleproctoring in RAMIS using TELEPRO
