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

introductionSleeve gastrectomy has gained popularity over the past decade due to its safety, feasibility, and good results. The purpose of this study is to describe our results, both short and long term, with this procedure. MATERIAL AND

methodsThis study is a nonrandomized, controlled, retrospective review of 409 patients who underwent a minimally invasive sleeve gastrectomy at the University of Illinois Hospital and Health System from January 2008 to December 2013. A total of 304 patients underwent a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, and another 105 patients underwent a robotic procedure using the da Vinci Surgical System®. Patient demographics, comorbidities, date of surgery, postoperative morbidity and mortality, operating time, length of stay, and excess weight loss were reviewed.

resultsThe mean age was 41 years (18-70) with no statistical difference between the two groups. Patient's demographics were similar (p = 0.395) in both groups. The mean operative time for the robotic group was 110.6 versus 84.18 min in the laparoscopic group, which was statistically significant (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups with regard to the perioperative complications, length of stay, or % excess weight loss.

conclusionThere is no significant difference between the robotic and laparoscopic group in terms of complications, length of stay, and estimated blood loss. Robot-assisted sleeve gastrectomy is associated with longer operative time and increased cost.
