Development of a Microsurgical Simulator for Laryngeal Surgery: A Novel Training Device.

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
Objective: To develop and validate a modular, low-cost, and anatomically realistic microsurgical simulator for endolaryngeal training, including CO Methods: We developed a dual-module simulator consisting of a laryngeal specimen fixation unit and a flexible laryngoscope holder. The device accommodates porcine larynges and enables adjustable exposure and instrument manipulation under microscopic or exoscopic visualization. Junior and senior otolaryngologists performed standardized tasks, including subepithelial vocal fold dissection, microsuturing, and CO Results: Twenty one otolaryngologists evaluated the simulator. Across survey items, mean scores ranged from 4.29 to 4.95 (SD: 0.22-0.78), with 81.0%-100% agreement (Likert ≥ 4). Perceived training benefit was highest for hand-eye coordination (4.95 ± 0.22, 100%), basic instrumentation for microscopic laser surgery (4.95 ± 0.22, 100%), and bimanual dexterity (4.90 ± 0.30, 100%). Overall satisfaction with the model was high (4.71 ± 0.46, 100%). Conclusion: This novel modular porcine-larynx simulator provides a practical platform for microlaryngeal skills training with high user-rated realism and educational utility. Its simple design, affordability, and adaptability may facilitate broader implementation in surgical education. Level of Evidence: 4.
