Clinical Trial Summary

Background: The ASSIST tool is a graphical tool to represent and evaluate the applicability of a surgery trial to improve the translation of research to practice.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of the ASSIST tool on the interpretation of the applicability of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in the field of digestive cancer surgery.

Design: This study is a randomized controlled trial with two parallel arms. Participants: Surgeons who contribute to the assessment of manuscripts as experts (peer-reviewer) for international scientific journals of surgery (Annals of Surgery, Archives of Surgery, Gastrointestinal Surgery World Journal of International Journal of Surgical Oncology).

Intervention: Surgeons will be randomized into 2 groups. A group that will evaluate a case vignette (synopsis) of a randomized trial in surgery, and the other group that will evaluate the same case vignette with the representation of the external validity of the trial with ASSIST tool.

Outcome measures: Participants will indicate on a numeric scale range from 1 to 10 if they feel able to judge the applicability of the trial for 1) patients, 2) centers, 3) surgeons and 4) intervention.

Sample Size: 28 case vignettes with randomized trials and their ASSIST tool have been developed and evaluated. The inclusion of 130 participants (65 per arm) is required.


Clinical Trial Description

The study will be conducted in 2 steps:

In a first step, investigators will develop cases vignettes of published RCTs evaluating surgical interventions in the field of digestive cancer with its representations of external validity according to ASSIST.

In a second step, investigators will invite a panel of peer reviewers to appraise the external validity (applicability) of selected RCTs without and with the graphical tool (ASSIST), on a security web site. ;
