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 aimed to assess the satisfaction levels of medical interns undergoing training in Da Vinci robot-assisted surgery at the Women's Hospital. Design: Between Aug 2023 and Mar 2024, an intern surgical demonstration training was conducted with students in medicine in the Department of Gynecologic Oncology. While the doctor operated from the primary console, a student utilized the 3D perspective from the second console to closely follow the lead surgeon's surgical maneuvers in real-time. After completing the training, the students filled out a questionnaire to assess their satisfaction with the proposed training. Results: Through structured questionnaires and interviews, 18 interns' perceptions and suggestions regarding the training program were evaluated. All students supported the Da Vinci surgical teaching model over traditional teaching methods. The findings revealed the interns' overall satisfaction with an average five-point Likert scale score of 4.88. Students' responses highly evaluated the usefulness of Da Vinci surgical training in improving surgical practice capabilities with an average five-point Likert scale score of 4.78. 94% of the students looked forward to using the da Vinci surgical system in future surgeries, and 83% of the participants would continue their further education and training in the field of robotic surgery. Using a 10-point scoring system to evaluate students' mastery of surgical knowledge gained from this training, the average score obtained was 8.94. Notably, follow-up data revealed that 12 out of these 18 students eventually chose surgery as their specialization when selecting their master's degree direction. Conclusion: Training in robot-assisted surgery demonstration of gynecologic oncology operations is a useful approach for training students to master surgical anatomy and develop skills in the field of surgery.
