Single-incision laparoscopic surgery as a teaching procedure: a single-center experience of more than 2100 procedures.
Article in Surgery today, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
purposeTo confirm the safety and feasibility of single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) and to compare the patient outcomes of single-incision laparoscopic surgery for laparoscopic appendectomy (SILS-LA) performed by resident doctors vs. staff surgeons.
methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent SILS between May, 2009 and May, 2015 at Osaka Police Hospital.
resultsWe analyzed 2172 patients. The operations performed consisted of cholecystectomy (n = 598), appendectomy (n = 202), inguinal hernia repair (n = 301), colorectal surgery (n = 673), and gastrectomy (n = 398). SILS was performed safely for a wide range of procedures with acceptable conversion and perioperative complication rates. The resident doctors in our department operated safely on 77 % (156/202) of patients undergoing SILS-LA. The staff surgeons operated on more elderly patients and patients with complicated appendicitis than did the resident doctors. The operative outcomes of the resident-performed SILS-LAs were better than those of the staff surgeons, although there was a patient selection bias.
conclusionsSILS seems safe and feasible for a wide range of procedures. Based on our findings, we believe that SILS-LA could be a useful teaching procedure for resident doctors to perform on selected patients, under the guidance of an experienced staff surgeon.
