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

purposeThis article provides an overview of current and completed multicentre trials and systematic reviews performed by the Study Centre of the German Surgical Society (SDGC).

backgroundThe SDGC aims to transfer the concept of evidence-based medicine to surgery by planning, conducting and analyzing large national and international randomized multicentre trials concerning surgical issues. Every German surgeon may ask the SDGC for support to realize his clinical trial ideas. Another important task of the SDGC is the acquisition of trial funding from government institutions or industrial partners. DISCUSSION: Five multicentre randomized controlled trials (RCT) and 11 systematic reviews with meta-analyses have already been completed and published by the SDGC. Another seven RCTs are currently in the recruitment or follow up phase. A total of 2,500 patients in over 100 trial centres have participated so far.
