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

Possible relations between surgical approaches, frequency, and severity of Crohn's disease recurrence after ileo-colonic resection is unknown. We aimed to assess perioperative outcomes and postsurgical complications of laparoscopic versus standard open surgery and to detect differences between the two groups in endoscopical recurrence and patients' satisfaction. Twenty-eight consecutive patients undergoing elective ileo-colonic resection by either laparoscopic approach (n = 15) or conventional open surgery (n = 13) were prospectively enrolled. No mortality or major intraoperative complications were observed in both groups. Significant differences between groups were the median operating time found shorter in the open group than in the laparoscopic group (p = 0.003), the higher dosage of pain killers needed in the open group (p = 0.05), the passage of flatus and\or stool after surgery found faster in group A (p = 0.004) and the shorter recovery period in the laparoscopic group (p = 0.007). Colonoscopy was performed in 27 patients. The frequency and pattern of recurrence did not differ between the two groups (p = 0.63). Patients' satisfaction was significantly in favor of laparoscopy. Present findings support the feasibility and advantages in the short-term of laparoscopic ileo-colonic resection in patients with Crohn's disease. No differences were observed in terms of frequency, time of onset, and severity of recurrence in a 1-year follow-up.
