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

objectivesWe aimed to perform a systematic review of the literature to identify interventions that may facilitate ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).

methodsThe PubMed and CENTRAL databases were interrogated for key MeSH headings. To be eligible for systematic review, trials were required to include outcome measures of postoperative pain, nausea or vomiting and time to discharge following LC. Interventions were subsequently assessed for the level of evidence and grade of recommendation given.

resultsA total of 331 trials were identified, 68 of which met the predefined study inclusion criteria. Interventions which met Level I, Grade A recommendation included the administration of 8 mg i.v. dexamethasone, preoperative administration of analgesia including the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory or COX II inhibitors, intraoperative use of an anti-emetic, pre-incisional use of bupivacaine, administration of intraperitoneal bupivacaine on establishment of pneumoperitoneum, and avoidance of drains.

conclusionsHigh-quality evidence describing interventions that minimize barriers to ambulatory LC exists. Further studies will be required to determine the optimal combination of these interventions.
