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
Gynecological organs are surrounded by gastrointestinal and urinary organs, and surgery in this area may require preservation or en bloc resection of these adjacent structures. In pelvic surgeries, differences in surgical terminology and anatomical recognition often arise, necessitating mutual understanding among disciplines. To promote shared understanding of surgical techniques and terminology in gynecology, gastrointestinal surgery, and urology, a multidisciplinary cadaver surgical training program was implemented. Between 2022 and 2024, a one-day training program using nine Thiel-embalmed cadavers was conducted at Fukushima Medical University. A total of 89 residents and specialists from the three disciplines participated. Each specialist performed a representative laparoscopic procedure—radical hysterectomy, cystectomy, or low anterior resection—with live demonstrations of anatomical structures and intraoperative terminology. A unified terminology table was created in advance to standardize and redefine surgical terms across specialties and distributed to all participants. Based on this table, terminology differences were reviewed and organized to establish a common understanding. Each specialty’s procedures revealed variations in anatomical landmarks and surgical terminology: gynecology emphasized the cardinal ligament and pelvic cavity, urology focused on autonomic nerves and vascular handling, and gastrointestinal surgery highlighted fascial planes. Redefinition of terminology using the unified table clarified interdepartmental differences and supported mutual understanding. This cross-disciplinary cadaver training enabled a redefinition of gynecological surgical anatomy for pelvic surgeons in other fields. Unifying surgical anatomical terminology may improve anatomical understanding and contribute to safer and more curative surgeries. This study found that anatomical understanding among pelvic surgery teams could be enhanced through cross-disciplinary cadaver training.
