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
A major limitation to robotic training internationally is sufficient access to console and bedside operating time. It is important that trainees are “robot ready” when clinical opportunities arise. Delivering the didactic component of training in advance of hands-on training opportunities is needed to maximise the efficiency of console time. This study describes the development and implementation of a platform agnostic online curriculum (Foundations in Robotic Surgery -IMRA) that provides an overview of robotic surgery as didactic learning prior to hands-on experience. Curriculum development is reported using Kern’s model. A literature review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA statement. A mixed-methods approach, incorporating surveys and semi-structured interviews, defined learning objectives and curriculum content. Curriculum outcomes were assessed via surgeon surveys, and modifications were made based on feedback from the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. The literature review revealed a gap in vendor-neutral online curricula for robotic surgery. Six experts comprising of general surgeons and urologists, identified key learning objectives on safety, communication, and surgical technique. This gap was addressed by developing an online curriculum comprising of ten theory modules. In the development group (n = 28; 16 responses), Kirkpatrick assessment showed a 60% increase in participants rating their knowledge as good or excellent. Confidence in bedside assistance and console training rose by 37.5%. In the rollout group (n = 108; 88 responses), 89.8% rated the content quality as good or excellent. Development and implementation of the IMRA Foundations in Robotic Surgery Curriculum demonstrated improvements in learners’ self-rated knowledge and confidence in both bedside and console aspects of multi-platform robotic surgery.
