Plastics Makes Perfect: A Collaborative, Cost-effective Approach to Multilevel Cadaveric Learning.
Article in Plastic and reconstructive surgery. Global open, 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
Background: Medical students are losing hands-on experience during surgical clerkships, and residents and faculty are expected to teach them with minimal educational training. A multilevel cadaveric curriculum (MCC) was implemented to improve surgical education for all groups. Methods: In the MCC, a senior resident verbally guided 2 medical students through a procedure on a cadaver, whereas a junior resident performed the procedure on the contralateral side under faculty guidance. Educational benefits were assessed via pre- and postsurveys, with costs shared between surgical departments. Results: Six MCC laboratory sessions were performed from 2023 to 2024, with a survey response rate of 89.6% (173 of 193). The laboratory sessions increased medical students' confidence in identifying procedural anatomy (3.9 versus 5.3, Conclusions: This laboratory was a beneficial educational experience for medical students, residents, and faculty, with improved cadaveric access achieved through cost sharing.
