Barrier methods used to prevent pelvic adhesions in videolaparoscopy: experimental study in female rabbits.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThis study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of barrier methods to prevent adhesions in videolaparoscopy, comparing the use of Surgicel(®) and Interceed(®) with the control group.
methodsWe performed a controlled, randomized study in healthy adult female rabbits Oryctolagus cuniculu, inducing adhesions in the abdominal wall by resection of a peritoneal fragment and cauterization. In the control group, surgery was performed, and the other group was randomized to the use of the barrier method. After 21 days, videolaparoscopy was repeated, and the presence or absence of adhesions and their score were verified by performing biopsies of the surgical site in all groups.
resultsNo statistical differences were found in the results on adhesion formation and adhesions score among the three groups. In the control group, there were 54.5% cases of adhesion formation; the median score of adhesions was 6 (range, 3-10). In the Surgicel(®) group, there were 45.5% cases of adhesion formation; median score of adhesions was 6 (range, 4-10). In the Interceed(®) group, there were 45.5% cases of adhesion formation; median score of adhesions was 5 (range, 3-11).
conclusionsNo difference was found using barrier methods, Surgicel(®), and Interceed(®) for preventing adhesion formation in videolaparoscopy.
