Review in International journal of colorectal disease, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

purposeMinimally invasive surgery is increasingly utilized in treatment for refractory or complicated Crohn's disease, and new developments aim at further reducing the abdominal trauma and improving the outcome. This review evaluates current literature about minimally invasive surgery for patients with Crohn's disease, latest advances in single-incision surgery, and methods of specimen extraction.

methodsLiterature was reviewed with focus on the following topics: indications, surgical procedures, conversions, complications, and short- as well as long-term outcomes of laparoscopic compared to open surgery for refractory, complicated, and recurrent Crohn's disease.

resultsShort-term benefits such as shorter hospital stay and faster postoperative recovery are accompanied by long-term benefits such as better cosmetic results and lower treatment-associated morbidity. Single-incision surgery and minimally invasive methods of specimen extraction help to further reduce the surgical trauma and are gradually implemented in the treatment.

conclusionIn experienced centers, laparoscopic surgery for Crohn's disease is safe and as feasible as open operations, even for selected cases with operations for complicated or recurrent disease. However, accurate analysis of the data is complicated by the heterogeneity of clinical presentations as well as the variety of performed procedures. Additional long-term data are needed for evaluation of true benefits of the new techniques.
