1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundLocal peritoneal effects of laparoscopic gases might be important in peritoneal biology during and after laparoscopic surgery. The most commonly used gas, CO(2), is known to be well tolerated, but also causes changes in acid-base balance. Helium is an alternative gas for laparoscopy. Although safe, it is not widely used. In this study a method for monitoring peritoneal pH during laparoscopy was evaluated and peritoneal pH during CO(2) and helium pneumoperitoneum was studied as well as its systemic reflection in arterial pH.

methodsFor these experiments 20 pigs were used, with ten exposed to pneumoperitoneum with CO(2), and ten to helium. Peritoneal and sub-peritoneal pH were continuously measured before and during gas insufflation, during a 30-minute period with a pneumoperitoneum and during a 30-minute recovery period. Arterial blood-gases were collected immediately before gas insufflation, at its completion, at 30 minutes of pneumoperitoneum and after the recovery period.

resultsPeritoneal pH before gas insufflation was in all animals 7.4. An immediate local drop in pH (6.6) occurred in the peritoneum with CO(2) insufflation. During pneumoperitoneum pH declined further, stabilising at 6.4, but was restored after the recovery period (7.3). With helium, tissue pH increased slightly (7.5) during insufflation, followed by a continuous decrease during pneumoperitoneum and recovery, reaching 7.2. Systemic pH decreased significantly with CO(2) insufflation, and increased slightly during helium insufflation. Systemic pH showed co-variation with intra-peritoneal pH at the the end of insufflation and after 30 minutes of pneumoperitoneum.

conclusionsInsufflation of CO(2) into the peritoneal cavity seemed to result in an immediate decrease in peritoneal pH, a response that might influence biological events. This peritoneal effect also seems to influence systemic acid-base balance, probably due to trans-peritoneal absorption.
