Using Condoms to Practice Venous End-to-side Anastomosis in Microsurgery.

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
End-to-side venous anastomosis is a critical technique widely used in head and neck reconstructive surgery. Despite the availability of numerous vascular anastomosis training methods, a dedicated approach for practicing venous end-to-side anastomosis remains elusive. To address this gap, we introduce an innovative synthetic vascular model using a common and accessible material: the condom. It is easy to obtain, cheap, available in every country, and does not require detaching the blood vessel or processing the material. Also, because it is transparent, it is easy to recognize the suture points and check for leaks. With its remarkable ability to replicate the thickness and elasticity of the internal jugular vein, this model offers a practical and effective solution for microanastomosis training. This novel approach could enhance surgical skill development, providing a realistic and reproducible method for mastering this essential technique.
