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
Introduction: Suture skills are important for family physicians, and they are best learned during residency. To increase the residents' readiness for clinical procedures, we developed a self-directed online suturing training program that targets knowledge and suturing techniques with video submission, evaluation, and feedback. The program was built to address residents' difficulties in performing obstetric laceration repairs, although the content is also pertinent to office-based skin procedures. Methods: First-year residents were assigned an online suturing training program during their surgical rotation. Assessments included a pre- and posttraining knowledge test and survey evaluating participants' comfort level with suturing and their perception of the training program's value. Residents submitted videos of their suturing, which were graded by one expert preceptor, who provided coaching and feedback. Changes in test scores and comfort ratings pre- to posttraining were analyzed using paired Student Results: Between 2018 and 2023, 64 residents were enrolled. Forty-seven (73%) submitted all expected videos, and 39 (61%) completed all components, including tests and surveys. Knowledge test and comfort level scores improved after the training ( Discussion: This novel self-directed suturing training utilizing simulation, video capture, and asynchronous faculty coaching and feedback was an effective tool to support learning of suturing skills. This training allowed for the assessment of each resident's suture skills with minimal time burden on the preceptor to prepare each resident for clinical procedures.
