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.
q2 i? Participants in the wet laboratory, dry laboratory and control groups showed significant improvements in time-based scores, whereas participants in the virtual reality group did not. → EL-Andari R 2023

q2 · i? · review · r2
Randomized controlled trial reported in the review: 40 surgical trainees with fewer than 10 hours of da Vinci experience were randomized to wet laboratory, dry laboratory, virtual reality simulation or control after an instructional video; skills were evaluated with the Global Evaluative Assessment of Robotic Skills using time-based scores (time subtracted from 720).
"Participants in the wet laboratory, dry laboratory and control groups showed significant improvements in their scores, whereas participants in the virtual reality group did not."
