SafeChole4all: pilot validation of a novel curriculum for safe laparoscopic cholecystectomy training.
Trial report in Surgical endoscopy, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundLaparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is one of the most frequent procedures for junior residents, yet access to validated, affordable, and anatomically accurate simulation tools remains limited. In this study, we evaluated a novel training approach using a cost-effective silicone-based model for simulating laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), integrated into a structured course designed for first-year general surgery residents.
methodsA prospective cohort of 35 first-year general surgery residents participated in a hands-on LC course using the "SafeChole4all" curriculum. Participants were randomized into two groups, with one group (A) viewing a procedural (silicone model) video prior to simulation. Performance was assessed using a procedure-specific scale (Procedure Specific Objective Assessment-PROSOA), with feedback collected immediately and again after one year.
resultsOf 35 participants, those in the video group demonstrated significantly better results in execution, quality, and overall performance. Post-course surveys (n = 32, 91%) showed strong consensus on the model adequacy and educational value. One year later, 11 respondents reported sustained confidence gains and high satisfaction, though most had not yet performed LC independently.
conclusionsThe SafeChole4all simulation model and curriculum offers preliminary evidence of educational value for early-stage LC training, but larger, adequately powered studies are required to confirm these findings.
