Application of VR technology in standardized residency training for endoscopic procedures in otorhinolaryngology.
Trial report in BMC medical education, 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
objectiveTo investigate the pedagogical efficacy of virtual reality (VR)-assisted training in the standardized education of otorhinolaryngology residents performing endoscopic procedures.
methodsOtorhinolaryngology residents were enrolled from Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital Affiliated to Tsinghua University, between January and November 2024. They were randomly divided into two groups: (1) a model simulation (MS) training group utilizing plastic models and electronic nasopharyngoscopes; (2) a VR-based training group integrating theoretical instruction with immersive three-dimensional (3D) virtual simulation for both practice and assessment. Upon completion of the training modules, trainees were evaluated through a standardized knowledge examination, objective structured assessments of endoscopic skills, and satisfaction surveys. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 29.0, employing independent-samples t-tests and chi-square tests where appropriate.
resultsA total of 46 resident physicians were enrolled in the present study, including 24 residents allocated to the VR training group and 22 residents assigned to the MS training group. The VR-based training group exhibited better performance in standardized knowledge examination [(74.45 ± 2.55) points vs. (67.38 ± 5.95) points, P < 0.001] and objective structured assessments of endoscopic skills [(11.14 ± 2.05) points vs. (9.29 ± 1.73) points, P = 0.001], compared with the traditional and simulation groups. Additionally, the overall percentage of satisfaction with the training modality was higher in the VR group (66.83% vs.61.33%).
conclusionVR-based training enhances cognitive acquisition and technical proficiency in endoscopic procedures among otorhinolaryngology residents. This approach also contributes to greater training satisfaction and self-efficacy in independently conducting endoscopic examinations.
