NOTES transvaginal hybrid cholecystectomy: the United States human experience.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
background"Pure" NOTES and "hybrid" NOTES procedures have gained popularity during the past few years. However, most of these published series have been documented outside the United States.
methodsThis is a prospective, nonrandomized series of patients. Female subjects who presented to the University of California at San Diego surgery clinic for elective cholecystectomy were offered participation in this study. Patients met the following criteria: aged 18-75 years; diagnosis of gallbladder disease that required cholecystectomy and American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) class 1. Hybrid NOTES transvaginal technique was used for cholecystectomy.
resultsA total of 27 women underwent hybrid transvaginal NOTES cholecystectomy during a 43-month period. The median age was 40.1 (range 23-63) years. The mean body mass index was 25.2 (range 16.4-34.1). All patients had an ASA I-II classification. The mean operative time was 92 (range 38-165) min. There was no conversion to an open operation. The mean hospital stay was 1.07 (range 1-2) days. Patients were followed for a mean of 3.32 (range 0.06-12.2) months. There were no postoperative complications. No scars were visible on the abdominal wall.
conclusionsThis study is the largest series of hybrid transvaginal cholecystectomy published in the United States. With our experience, we demonstrate that this technique is safe and clinically viable.
