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

objectiveWe aim to perform systematic reviews of the clinical effects of the abdominal wall suspension technique in laparoscopic cholecystectomy in China.

methodsWe retrieved databases of literature on randomized controlled trials involving abdominal wall suspension laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Then, we conducted screenings, extracted data, and performed quality assessment and meta-analysis.

resultsWe analyzed 611 patients. Our analysis showed that the abdominal wall suspension group compared to the traditional group had reduced length of hospital stay (SMD = -0.91, 95% CI = -1.76~-0.06, P = 0.04), had shortened postoperative first exhaust time (SMD = -0.65, 95% CI = -1.11~-0.20, P = 0.005), and had diminished incidence of postoperative complications (P < 0.001), which decreased the cost of hospitalization.

conclusionsApplication of abdominal wall suspension endoscopic technique can significantly speed up the rehabilitation of laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients; therefore, it is worthy of further research and clinical application.
