The development of a novel virtual reality simulation module for canine laparoscopic ovariectomy.
Article in Acta veterinaria Scandinavica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Canine ovariectomy is a commonly performed procedure in veterinary practice and can be done via an open celiotomy or a laparoscopic approach. Laparoscopy requires different psychomotor skills from those involved in open surgery. Many of these basic skills can initially be acquired through simulation-based training. Surgical simulation training benefits both the surgeon and the patient by offering the acquisition of new skills in a less stressful environment while lowering the risk for the patient. Virtual reality (VR) simulation training is well established in human medicine, but no VR modules have previously been available for veterinary procedure training for laparoscopy. This project aimed to develop a VR simulator module for canine laparoscopic ovariectomy on the simulator LapSim
