Use of the LigaSure device and the Stapler for closure of the small bowel: a comparative ex vivo study.
Article in Surgery today, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
purposeTo evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the LigaSure device in closing divisions of the small bowel in an ex vivo porcine model.
methodsTwo types of closure were performed: stumps created by "muco-mucosa" fusion and stumps created by "sero-serosa" fusion. For each type of closure, different power levels of the LigaSure system were tested in combination with different numbers of applications and then compared with the Stapler group.
resultsWith both types of intestinal closure, the highest value of burst pressure was obtained with the application of a power level of three bars and one frequency application. The high burst pressure of the muco-mucosa stump group was significantly lower than that of the Stapler group (41.8 ± 5.9 vs. 75.8 ± 5.9, respectively, p < 0.01). No differences were found between the high burst pressure of the sero-serosa stump group and the Stapler group (74.1 ± 5.5 vs. 75.8 ± 5.9, respectively, p = 0.2).
conclusionsOur preliminary results showed that the LigaSure is an efficient tool for closing the intestines when sero-serosa stumps are created. The second step of our work will be to evaluate the feasibility of this tool in creating intestinal anastomoses.
