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

The new surgical concept of "natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery" (NOTES) breaks with the old dogma that gastrointestinal flexible endoscopy should be performed exclusively within the gastrointestinal lumen. It guides flexible endoscopy into the peritoneal cavity and to date any access to this was and is a feared complication. NOTES offers a new potential alternative to open surgery as well as laparoscopic surgery. Technical challenges of this new technique include the need for the development of new tools and devices. This is most important for the access to and closure of incisions to the peritoneal and thoracic cavities. The successful incision and closure is a prerequisite for the development of acceptable indications for this new method. In this overview the access and closure techniques currently used as well as some of those which are being considered will be described. Furthermore, possible indications for NOTES will be evaluated and discussed.
