Confidence in managing open-globe injuries and endophthalmitis: a pre- and postwet-lab training evaluation.

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
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of 2 days of wet-lab training on confidence in the management of open-globe injury (OGI) and endophthalmitis. Methods: In a porcine wet lab, 24 participants were trained on 12 surgical tasks, including pars plana vitreous sampling and corneal and scleral suturing. Participants anonymously rated their confidence in managing OGI and endophthalmitis on a scale from 1 to 10 before the course, immediately after its completion, and 6 months later. Results: Confidence in corneal suturing improved from a median of 1 (interquartile range [IQR] = 1) to 7 (IQR = 3) immediately after the course ( Conclusions: Wet-lab training effectively increased participants' confidence in managing OGI. Key elements of the ophthalmic surgeon's learning curve can be addressed in a porcine wet lab, thereby reducing the risk of poor patient outcomes. Six months later, the positive effect on confidence remained significant, despite the expected decline over time. Nonetheless, there remains scope for further improvement in these essential surgical skills.
