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
introductionLaparoscopic appendectomy is a well-described surgical technique and has gained wide clinical acceptance. Laparoscopic appendectomy offers fewer wound infections, faster recovery and an earlier return to work in comparison to open surgery. However, concerns still exist regarding the appendiceal stump closure.
aimThe aim of this study was to compare the overall incidence and specific intraoperative and postoperative complications after application of intracorporeal knotting with invaginating suture versus endoloops for stump closure in laparoscopic appendectomy. MATERIAL AND
methodsONE HUNDRED FIFTY TWO CONSECUTIVE PATIENTS ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING INCLUSION CRITERIA WERE INCLUDED IN THE STUDY: 1. Laparoscopic appendectomy was performed during the study period; 2. Acute phlegmonous or gangrenous appendicitis without perforation was diagnosed during operation. Exclusion criteria - patients with acute perforated appendicitis and local or diffuse peritonitis. Data was grouped according to the appendiceal stump closure technique, with either endoloops - 112 patients (73.7 percent) or intracorporeal knotting with invaginating suture - 40 patients (26.3 per cent). The primary outcome measure was the rate of intraabdominal surgical-site infection, defined as post-operative intra-abdominal abscess. Secondary outcome variables were intraoperative and postoperative complications, duration of operation, hospital stay.
resultsThere were no significant differences between the two groups in overall intraoperative and postoperative complications rate and in hospital stay. The median duration of operation was significantly shorter when the endoloop was used. The use of intracorporeal knotting with invaginating suture instead of endoloop to close the appendiceal stump decreased the total cost of laparoscopic appendectomy.
conclusionsAccording our study results, intracorporeal knotting with invaginating suture appendiceal stump closure technique is acceptable laparoscopic procedure, which intraoperative and postoperative results do not differ from endoloops technique. The total cost of this procedure is 80 € cheaper then endoloops technique.
