Progressive Training in Laparoscopic Suturing: From Motor Coordination to Intracorporeal Suturing Within Four Hours.
Article in Cureus, 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
The teaching of basic suturing and knot-tying techniques requires a structured method for the development of these skills, and acquiring such competence is essential in surgical training. The objective of this article is to present a structured four-hour program of progressive training based on principles of motor coordination, spatial cognition, and mastery of the non-dominant hand, focusing on gradual technical construction. The method includes specific exercises, such as the dancing needle, C-loop and D-loop formation, needle-passing practice, and the performance of intracorporeal sutures using physical simulators. The process preserves traditional pedagogy centered on manual skills, but it is designed in a modular format for future integration with virtual simulation platforms and artificial intelligence. This model provides an efficient approach to accelerate the initial technical development in laparoscopy and has the potential to be incorporated into contemporary surgical education programs that employ immersive learning methods.
