Research on the application of computer-assisted surgical technology in ophthalmic plastic surgery education.
Trial report in BMC medical education, 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
backgroundThis study explores the use of Orthanc, Mango, and 3D printing technologies to simulate ophthalmic plastic surgery teaching for undergraduate medical students. By incorporating 3D image modeling, segmentation, surgical manipulation, quantitative measurement, and virtual surgical planning, we aim to provide an intuitive, visual representation of complex surgical procedures and enhance students' theoretical knowledge, diagnostic skills, and surgical competence.
methodsFifty-eight clinical medicine students from the 2022 cohort at Haiyuan College, Kunming Medical University, were randomly assigned to an experimental group (computer-aided teaching) or a control group (conventional teaching). Teaching effectiveness was evaluated through theoretical exams, practical assessments, and satisfaction surveys over one semester.
resultsThe experimental group showed significantly higher scores in theoretical knowledge, practical surgical skills, and teaching satisfaction (all P < 0.001), with large effect sizes (Cohen's d > 0.98). The satisfaction rate in the experimental group was 91.24%, nearly 10% points higher than that in the control group (81.31%).
conclusionIn this study, the computer-assisted surgical technology was associated with a simplified teaching process, improved spatial understanding among participants, and led to a significant enhancement in students' mastery of ophthalmic plastic surgery as measured by our assessments.
