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

backgroundThe German NOTES registry (GNR) was initiated by the German Society for General and Visceral Surgery (DGAV) as a treatment and outcome database for natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES).

aimThe aim of this study was the descriptive analysis of all GNR data collected over a 5-year period since its start in 2008 with more than 3000 interventions. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe GNR is an online database with voluntary participation available to all German-speaking clinics. Demographic data, therapy details, complications and data on the postoperative course of patients are recorded. All cases in the GNR between March 2008 and November 2013 were included in the analysis.

resultsFrom a total of 3150 data sets 2992 (95 %) were valid and suited for the analysis. Hybrid transvaginal cholecystectomy was the most frequently used procedure (88.7 %), followed by hybrid transvaginal/transgastric appendectomy (6.1 %) and hybrid transvaginal/transrectal colon procedures (5.1 %). Intraoperative complications occurred in 1.6 %, postoperative complications in 3.7 % and conversions were reported in 1.5 %. Intraoperative bladder injuries and postoperative urinary tract infections were identified as method-specific complications of transvaginal procedures. Bowel injuries occurred as a rare (0.2 %) but potentially serious complication of transvaginal operations.

conclusionThe German surgical community ensures a safe and responsible introduction of the new NOTES operation techniques with its active participation in the GNR. Despite an overall low complication rate, the high number of procedures in the GNR permitted the identification of method-specific complications. This knowledge can be used to further increase the safety of NOTES in practice.
