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

purposeTo evaluate the accuracy and utility of a new image overlay system using a tablet PC for patients undergoing peripheral arterial reconstruction.

methodsEleven limbs treated with distal bypass surgery were studied. Three-dimensional images obtained by processing a preoperative contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan were superimposed onto the back-camera images of a tablet PC. We used this system to pinpoint a planned distal anastomotic site preoperatively and to make a precise incision directly above it during surgery. We used a branch artery near the distal anastomotic site as a reference point and the accuracy of the system was validated by comparing its results with the intraoperative findings. The precision of the system was also compared with that of a preoperative ultrasonographic examination.

resultsBoth the image overlay system and ultrasonography (US) accurately identified the target branch artery in all except one limb. In that limb, which had a very small reference branch artery, preoperative US wrongly identified another branch, whereas the image overlay system located the target branch with an error of 10 mm.

conclusionsOur image overlay system was easy to use and allowed us to precisely identify a target artery preoperatively. Therefore, this system could be helpful for pinpointing the most accurate incision site during surgery.
