Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

The review's introduction describes how "Kirkpatrick levels can be applied to RAS training" with level 2 equating to RAS skills assessed with validated scoring systems during simulation.
"Kirkpatrick levels can be applied to RAS training. Level 2 equates to RAS skills and can be assessed with validated scoring systems during simulation."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Evidence for technology-enhanced basic robotic skills training is concentrated at Kirkpatrick level 2, with no studies reporting transfer to operative behaviour or patient outcomes — related
- Evidence on transfer to clinical behavior and patient outcomes is scarce: only 2 studies reached Kirkpatrick level 3 and 1 reached level 4 — related
- Not all current comprehensive RAS curricula are grounded in the relevant educational frameworks. — related
- A standardised RAS curriculum is feasible and beneficial, and surgical societies have outlined RAS curricula which could be implemented locally. — related
