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

Appendectomy, cholecystectomy, and inguinal herniorrhaphy are fundamental procedures in general surgery. These surgeries help trainees develop essential surgical skills, including technical proficiency and surgical planning. In this study, we aimed to design and produce modular laparoscopic surgical training models tailored to the needs of surgical education. Modular laparoscopic models for appendectomy, cholecystectomy, and inguinal herniorrhaphy were developed. The cholecystectomy and appendectomy models consisted of two components: a frame and a module, whereas the herniorrhaphy model included a pelvic cavity and peritoneum. A surgical resident with two years of laparoscopic experience at the Department of Surgery at Severance Hospital evaluated the simulators. The modular laparoscopic surgical training models developed in this study are cost-effective, realistic, and capable of precisely simulating surgical environments. These models provide an effective educational tool for enhancing surgical training.
