Modified laparoscopic placement of peritoneal dialysis catheter with intra-abdominal fixation.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposePeritoneal dialysis (PD) is a commonly accepted method of treating end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Various laparoscopic techniques for the placement of PD catheter have been described. In this study, we developed a novel modified laparoscopic technique for PD catheter placement and evaluated the early results.
methodsA straight Tenckhoff PD catheter was placed employing the modified technique in 39 consecutive patients with ESRD from May 2013 to April 2016. The technique is laparoscopically guided intra-abdominal fixation of the PD catheter tip at one point by using suture passer hernia forceps. Individual information including sex, age, primary disease etiology, complications, surgical duration, morbidity, mortality and catheter survival was collected and analyzed.
resultsThe modified laparoscopic procedure was effectively performed in all patients with a mean operative time of 45 ± 7 min. No conversions from laparoscopy to open surgery of catheter placement occurred. There was one case showing early pericatheter leakage. There were no serious complications, such as bleeding, abdominal wall hernias, distal catheter cuff extrusion and infections of the exit site or tunnel during surgery or the postoperative duration. No mortality was observed in this group of patients. The 6-month follow-up study showed 100% catheter-related complication-free survival.
conclusionsOur modified laparoscopic intra-abdominal fixation technique using suture passer hernia forceps is a simple and safe method for PD catheter placement and is effective in minimizing the risk of catheter migration.
