Subclaims¶
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.
q3 i? Plastic cannister models were the most common type of simulator used (n = 8, 22%), followed by ball-with-painted-fundus and EyeSi designs. → Dutt Deepaysh DCS 2025

q3 · i? · review · r3
Systematic review of simulator types across 37 included studies. The review reports that "Plastic cannister models were the most common type of simulator used (n = 8, 22%)."
"Plastic cannister models were the most common type of simulator used (n = 8, 22%). The basic design of this involves a cylindrical cannister with an aperture on one end, with fundus slides on the other end."
