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

This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness and implementation of simulation-based training in obstetrics and gynecology surgical education. Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, multiple databases were searched through December 2024, ultimately including 30 randomized controlled trials involving 1,247 participants. Random-effects meta-analysis was conducted to assess technical skills, operative time, learner confidence, and patient outcomes. The analysis revealed that simulation training significantly improved surgical skill scores compared to traditional teaching (SMD = 0.82, 95% CI: 0.64-1.00,
