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

backgroundThe decline in trauma cases and the increase in non-surgical treatments have reduced opportunities for trauma surgery training. This study examined the effectiveness of Cadaver-Based Educational Seminar for Trauma Surgery (C-BEST) as a lifelong educational tool for novice and experienced clinicians.

methodsFrom 2017 to 2023, 117 clinicians with varying levels of experience participated in the C-BEST program at Hokkaido University. Participants included novice clinicians (median years post-graduation: 5) and experienced clinicians (median years post-graduation: 19). Each participant assessed their confidence in 21 trauma techniques before, immediately after, and 6 months post-course using a self-assessment of confidence levels (SACL) scale.

resultsThe analysis showed significant improvement in SACL scores immediately after the course, with confidence levels remaining sustained 6 months later. Novice clinicians demonstrated substantial skill acquisition, whereas experienced clinicians reported the reinforcement and refinement of existing skills.

conclusionsC-BEST seems valuable as a training tool for the acquisition and retention of trauma surgery skills, addressing practical needs in trauma care. C-BEST provides an effective and sustained approach to trauma surgery skill development and retention across career stages. Further research on its long-term impact and applicability in diverse clinical settings is recommended.
