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

purposeLaparoscopic cholecystectomy is a very common minimally invasive surgical procedure that may be improved by autonomous or cooperative assistance support systems. Model-based surgery with a precise definition of distinct procedural tasks (PT) of the operation was implemented and tested to depict and analyze the process of this procedure.

methodsReliability of real-time workflow recognition in laparoscopic cholecystectomy ([Formula: see text] cases) was evaluated by continuous sensor-based data acquisition. Ten PTs were defined including begin/end preparation calots' triangle, clipping/cutting cystic artery and duct, begin/end gallbladder dissection, begin/end hemostasis, gallbladder removal, and end of operation. Data acquisition was achieved with continuous instrument detection, room/table light status, intra-abdominal pressure, table tilt, irrigation/aspiration volume and coagulation/cutting current application. Two independent observers recorded start and endpoint of each step by analysis of the sensor data. The data were cross-checked with laparoscopic video recordings serving as gold standard for PT identification.

resultsBland-Altman analysis revealed for 95% of cases a difference of annotation results within the limits of agreement ranging from [Formula: see text]309 s (PT 7) to +368 s (PT 5). Laparoscopic video and sensor data matched to a greater or lesser extent within the different procedural tasks. In the majority of cases, the observer results exceeded those obtained from the laparoscopic video. Empirical knowledge was required to detect phase transit.

conclusionsA set of sensors used to monitor laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedures was sufficient to enable expert observers to reliably identify each PT. In the future, computer systems may automate the task identification process provided a more robust data inflow is available.
