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

Description Surgical training has changed significantly over the past several decades, largely due to advances in technology. After the introduction of laparoscopic and robotic surgery into residency programs, simulation-based training (SBT) has become an important addition to surgical education. Simulation-based training offers a safe and structured environment to practice skills, receive feedback, and develop technical and non-technical abilities. While its benefits are well recognized, wider use of SBT continues to face challenges, including high costs, limited faculty availability, and time constraints within residency schedules. New technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, and standardized simulation frameworks may help address these barriers and further improve training. This review outlines the history, current applications, and future directions of SBT, highlighting its role in improving surgical education and patient care.
