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

Central line placement is a critical skill for medical students, yet training opportunities are limited. This pilot study evaluated the impact of virtual reality (VR) training on fourth-year medical students' perceived competence for central line placement. Fifty-four students underwent VR training followed by hands-on simulation. Results demonstrated a significant increase in perceived competence post-training, with improvements across multiple dimensions. Students also rated the VR experience as highly valuable for their learning. While engagement with the VR interface was moderate overall, students found the technology appealing and worthwhile. These findings suggest that VR holds promise as a valuable adjunct to traditional central line training, enhancing students' preparedness for clinical practice.
