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

In recent years minimally invasive surgical techniques in children have made substantial progress. The feasibility and safety of a wide spectrum of laparoscopic and thoracoscopic procedures have been confirmed in numerous studies. Moreover, it was reported that minimally invasive pediatric surgery is associated with lower morbidity, a shorter hospital stay, lower costs, better cosmetics and clinical results similar to those achieved by open surgery. The present article reviews information on established as well as feasible but not yet established surgical procedures. The discussion of potential hemodynamic, respiratory and organ perfusion effects of the CO(2) pneumoperitoneum and the notation of special logistic aspects should support the reader in the process of decision-making to schedule infants and children for minimally invasive surgery.
