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: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a haptic-enabled laparoscopic simulator in improving the surgical proficiency of residents across different experience levels. Design: This prospective study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a haptic laparoscopic simulator (LAP Mentor) for gynecological procedures among residents. Participants were divided into three groups based on experience: senior, midlevel, and junior residents, and completed simulations of bilateral tubal ligation and prophylactic oophorectomy, with performance metrics including time taken and instrument movements recorded. Result: While group 1 generally scored higher, no statistically significant differences were found between groups. Major bleeding incidents were rare, occurring once in group 2 during tubal ligation and twice in group 3 during prophylactic oophorectomy. Within-group analysis revealed improvements for group 2, which showed reduced duration ( Conclusion: Limited but regular access to advanced simulators-offered two or three times annually-could empower residency programs to meet contemporary surgical training standards without incurring prohibitive costs, ensuring broader access to high-quality skills development.
