In addition to PubMed articles, the system can also process a set of Scopus or Web of Science entries. An interactive representation of the interarticle citation network is also presented in order to easily locate article “clusters” related to particular subjects, as well as their corresponding “hub” articles. These MeSH terms are highlighted in the article abstracts in different colors depending on the category. It also calculates the distribution of MeSH (medical subject headings) terms for categories of interest, providing in a picture of the themes addressed in the set. The system allows for classification/sorting of articles according to different criteria, including the type of article and different citation-related figures. ![]() In this work, we present an interactive tool for automatically digesting large sets of PubMed articles: PMIDigest (PubMed IDs digester). Users performing searches in this database for a subject of interest face thousands of entries (articles) that are difficult to process manually. The most widely used database with biomedicine-related article abstracts, PubMed, currently contains more than 36 million entries. Scientific knowledge is being accumulated in the biomedical literature at an unprecedented pace. The overall number and quality of available studies were only moderate, limiting the validity and generalizability of our findings. Spacing in VR simulator-based surgical training improved skill acquisition when compared to massed training. However, the included studies were too heterogeneous in terms of spacing interval, obtained performance metrics and psychomotor skills analysed to allow for a meta-analysis to substantiate our outcomes. Spacing across consecutive days seemed more effective than shorter or longer spacing intervals. Spaced training resulted in better performance scores and faster skill acquisition when compared to control groups with a single day (massed) training session. After screening the titles and abstracts, 53 publications were retained for full text screening and 7 met the inclusion criteria. The searches yielded 1662 unique publications. We extracted and aggregated qualitative data regarding spacing interval, psychomotor task performance and several other performance metrics. We assessed the quality of all included studies using the Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument (MERSQI) and the risk of bias using the Cochrane Collaboration's risk of bias assessment tool. We systematically searched the databases PubMed, PsycINFO, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, ERIC and CINAHL for studies investigating the influence of spacing on the effectiveness of VR simulator training focused on psychomotor skill acquisition in healthcare professionals. To explore how spacing impacts VR simulator-based acquisition of surgical psychomotor skills, we performed a systematic literature review. Similarly, virtual reality (VR) simulators have demonstrated their effectiveness in fostering surgical skill acquisition and provide a promising, realistic environment for spaced training. Repeated practice, or spacing, can improve various types of skill acquisition. ![]()
