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

Objectives: Simulation-based (SBT) training is an essential component of modern surgical education as it improves both technical and non-technical skills while increasing the motivation of medical students. This study investigates the implementation of a student-led SBT based on peer teaching to overcome challenges in surgical education, maintain motivation, and facilitate access to surgical professions. Methods: From January 2024 to December 2024 a student-led voluntary course on basic laparoscopic techniques was performed, in which medical students from all semesters could participate. Satisfaction, motivation, and perceived openness for surgical professions of the participants were assessed using questionnaires and evaluated descriptively. Results: Eighty six medical students were trained in basic laparoscopic skills. The main reasons for participating were the desire for practical training (80 %), interest in laparoscopic techniques (76 %), and the pursuit of a surgical career (56 %). Overall satisfaction was high ( Conclusions: Peer teaching in a non-institutionalized, exam-free environment shows considerable potential for promoting surgical identity in medical students. The results underscore the importance of voluntary, creative training formats to support motivation, competence development, and identity formation in surgery.
