q3 i? Synthetic models ranked a high median tactile realism (4 out of 5) compared to other models. → Chawla Shreya 2022 q3 i? The review concludes synthetic models, due to their visual and haptic realism, are the most convenient forms of simulation for safe use in remote settings. → Chawla Shreya 2022 (2)

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2

The review's synthesis across model types (seven synthetic-model studies) reports "a high median tactile realism (4 out of 5) compared to other models"; the value is a median Likert rating, not an effect size.

"The synthetic models ranked a high median tactile realism (4 out of 5) compared to other models."

The authors' interpretation in the COVID-19 discussion section: "synthetic models, due to their visual and haptic realism, are the most convenient forms of simulation models to be used safely in remote settings"; an author judgement, not a tested comparison.

"Based on our review and current literature findings on residents' concerns of surgical training in the pandemic, synthetic models, due to their visual and haptic realism, are the most convenient forms of simulation models to be used safely in remote settings."

• Conventional training received significantly higher ratings for perceived realism and immersion than VR-based training (r=0.774) — related
• Neurosurgical simulation models across 18 included studies received favourable face validity ratings for visual realism, but haptic realism was a key limitation — related
• VR tools enhance acquisition and retention of clinical and procedural skills but face barriers including cybersickness, limited tactile feedback and variable long-term skill transfer — related
