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

backgroundRhinoplasty is a complex operation that warrants careful consideration of both functional and aesthetic principles. Despite its prevalence within plastic surgery and otolaryngology-head and neck surgery fields-its exposure and education are highly variable among training programs. The purpose of this study is to identify the various supplemental methods utilized outside of the operating room for educating residents on the technical and clinical aspects of rhinoplasty and evaluate the outcomes associated with various educational approaches.

methodsA scoping review was conducted using the PubMed/MEDLINE database using a combination of the following key terms: "rhinoplasty," "rhinoplasty education," and "resident training." Articles were included that 1) discussed methods of educating residents on the technical and clinical aspects of rhinoplasty and 2) reported outcomes to objectively assess such methods.

resultsThirteen studies were included in the analysis. The majority of the studies discussed three-dimensional printed models and surgical simulators, followed by cadaver laboratories, detailed rhinoplasty educational programming, and video-assisted learning tools. In terms of assessed outcomes, surveys were utilized to assess residents' confidence before and after intervention, test their knowledge on various clinical aspects, and their perceived effectiveness of these tools.

conclusionThis study highlights the various measures taken to provide education and instruction on rhinoplasty. Beyond intra-operating teaching and modeling, surgical simulators are highly effective and valuable for residents to practice technical maneuvers; however, future efforts leveraging artificial intelligence and software technologies can help further improve rhinoplasty education. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
