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

objectiveTo evaluate the comparative effectiveness of video-based peer feedback (VPF) versus video-based expert feedback (VEF) in fundamental skill acquisition among residents.

methodsIn this randomized controlled trial, 33 surgical residents were allocated to either VPF (n = 17) or VEF (n = 16) groups. Both groups completed training in three fundamental skills: (1) wound dressing change with suture removal, (2) indwelling urinary catheterization, and (3) simple interrupted suture. Following training, performance was assessed via objective structured clinical examination (OSCE).

resultsBoth groups demonstrated significant improvement across all skills (P < 0.05). Comparative analysis revealed superior performance by the VPF group in wound dressing change with suture removal (P < 0.05), while no significant intergroup differences were observed for catheterization or suturing (P > 0.05). Notably, among Professional Master of Medicine candidates, VPF showed significant advantages in both wound care and catheterization (P < 0.05).

conclusionVPF demonstrates comparable efficacy to VEF for all fundamental skills, with superior outcomes for specific procedures and learner subgroup. These findings position VPF as both a viable alternative and potentially preferred methodology for targeted applications in surgical residency training.
