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

Since the Study Center of the German Surgical Society (SDGC) was established in 2003 it has been supporting surgeons to implement their ideas for multicenter randomized studies. Assistance is provided for development (sample size calculation, protocol, funding application) implementation (submission to ethics committee, data management, monitoring) and analysis (statistical analysis, publication) in close collaboration with biometricians and data managers. Currently more than 2,500 patients have been included in 11 trials. The most complex SDGC study (SYNCHRONOUS) so far with up to 80 participating centers has been activated in September 2011. Furthermore, there is an increasing relevance for systematic reviews and meta analyses with regard to the development of studies and aggregation of results. For this reason a systematic review working group was established within the SDGC. To date 13 publications have been completed and 8 more are underway.
