A Novel Approach to Diagnostic and Operative Hysteroscopy Training: Hands-On Training With One-to-One Tutoring in Live Patients.

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
introductionHysteroscopy is the gold standard technique for the evaluation and treatment of intrauterine pathology related to infertility, abnormal bleeding, and recurrent miscarriages. Hysteroscopy training is a fundamental part of training in gynecology. We report an innovative live-patient hysteroscopy training curriculum developed by the Second Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of ''Aretaieion'' University Hospital of Athens, Greece.
methodsThe program includes a two-day course integrating both theory and hands-on sessions. The theoretical component encompasses pelvic anatomy, instrument-related physics, recognition of uterine pathology, indications of hysteroscopy, patient preparation, use of ultrasound, management of complications, and post-surgery care, promoting a deeper comprehension of limitations and applications of hysteroscopy. On the first day of practical training, trainees use hysteroscopic instruments in small groups in a dry lab under the supervision of experienced tutors. On the second day, they move on to live-patient cases for diagnostic and surgical hysteroscopy. Participants are exposed to a wide spectrum of surgical interventions ranging from simple diagnostic hysteroscopy to more advanced procedures such as International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) type 2 myomectomy or intrauterine adhesion management.
resultsPost-course evaluation via a questionnaire has served as a valuable aid in the continuous improvement of the training program, in line with the ever-evolving field of hysteroscopic surgery. The overall satisfaction of the participants according to the self-reported 5-point verbal numeric rating scale (VNRS-5) was very high (mean score 4.8).
conclusionOur program addresses the lack of sufficient hysteroscopy training and offers an alternative to simulation-based training. Its curriculum is pioneering, combining theoretical as well as hands-on training with one-to-one tutoring in live patients, facilitating gynecologists to incorporate hysteroscopic procedures with more confidence into their surgical practice.
