The laparoscopic approach in abdominal emergencies: has the attitude changed? : A single-center review of a 15-year experience.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundLaparoscopy has been practiced more and more in the management of abdominal emergencies. The aim of the present work was to illustrate retrospectively the results of a case-control 5-year experience of laparoscopic versus open surgery for abdominal emergencies carried out at our institution, especially with regard to whether our attitude toward use of this procedure has changed as compared with the beginning of our laparoscopic emergency experience (1991-2002). MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom January 2002 to January 2007 a total of 670 patients underwent emergent and/or urgent laparoscopy (small bowel obstruction, 17; gastroduodenal ulcer disease, 16; biliary disease, 118; pelvic disease and non-specific abdominal pain (NSAP), 512; colonic perforations, 7) at the hands of a surgical team trained in laparoscopy
resultsThe conversion rate was 0.15%. Major complications ranged as high as 1.9% with no postoperative mortality. A definitive diagnosis was accomplished in 98.3% of the cases, and all such patients were treated successfully by laparoscopy.
conclusionsWe believe that laparoscopy is not an alternative to physical examination/good clinical judgment or to conventional noninvasive diagnostic methods in treating the patient with symptoms of an acute abdomen. However it must be considered an effective option in treating patients in whom these methods fail and as a challenging alternative to open surgery in the management algorithm for abdominal emergencies.
