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

purposeRobotic LaparoEndoscopic Single-Site Surgery Cholecystectomy has been performed for 5 years using a dedicated platform (da Vinci

methodsIn this retrospective study, patients operated between 2011 and 2013 were evaluated. Parietal incision was assessed with ultrasonography and patients screened for residual pain from scar tissue. Demographic and perioperative data were also collected.

resultsWe evaluated 48 patients [38 female, 79.2%; median age 49 years (range: 24-81 years)]; mean BMI 25.9 kg/m

conclusionThis preliminary study suggests that a clinically significant rate of incisional hernias can occur after R-LESS-C. Larger studies comparing R-LESS-C to alternative methods with long-term follow-up are necessary.
