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 aimed to show Turkish surgeons' current status of experience and perception about single-incision laparoscopic surgery. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe experience and perception of general surgeons, who were members of the Turkish Surgical Association (3.5%, 116/3312), about single-incision laparoscopic surgery were analyzed according to demographic characteristics and a self-report questionnaire with the following four domains: surgeons' perception regarding the performance of single-incision laparoscopic surgery in their clinical practice; their experience of laparoscopic surgery; education, experience, and attitude for single-incision laparoscopic surgery; and the reason for performing/not performing single-incision laparoscopic surgery in their practice.

resultsThere were no significant factors affecting Turkish surgeons' preference of surgical approach. Although, most surgeons performing single-incision laparoscopic surgery were educated (72.2%), the dominant factor driven them to perform this surgery seemed to be personal achievement and satisfaction (57%). Most surgeons who did not perform single-incision laparoscopic surgery were not interested to do so and considered it unnecessary (62.1%). In addition, the need for special equipment and training were dominant barriers (61%).

conclusionIt seems that Turkish surgeons' perception to perform single-incision laparoscopic surgery was more related to their personal achievement and satisfaction.
