[Patient safety in surgical residency training : A systematic review and meta-analysis].
Synthesis in Chirurgie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2026. 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
backgroundSurgical residency training stands in a field of tension between educational needs and patient safety. The aim of this review was to evaluate the impact of surgical training on patient safety.
methodsA systematic PubMed search (2011-2025) was conducted, including original studies with an explicit focus on residency training. Out of 419 identified records 32 studies were analyzed and 30 were included in the meta-analysis based on complete datasets.
resultsAcross most surgical specialties, interventions involving residents showed comparable morbidity and mortality rates to surgery guided by specialists, with a pooled odds ratio (OR) of 1.03 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.88-1.21); however, the operative time was significantly longer by a mean of 15.04 min (95% CI 5.16-24.93, p = 0.0029). Structured curricula and direct supervision enabled safe performance even of complex procedures by residents.
conclusionSurgical training is largely safe when adequate structure and supervision are provided. Structured training programs and competency-based entrustment concepts can enhance both patient safety and operative autonomy.
