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

purposeThe objective of this study was to identify the most appropriate cadaver perfusion techniques for surgical training through a systematic review with a description of the protocols used.

methodsThe search strategy included PubMed and reference tracking. Studies were identified by searching the electronic Medline databases. The search concepts included perfusion, cadavers and simulation training, and the protocol used is reported. This resulted in a qualitative review of 12 articles out of 250 articles consulted. We collected all the important data from these 12 articles.

resultsRegarding the characteristics of the studies and the declotting or perfusion techniques, the results were heterogeneous. Indeed, in several studies, a good deal of information was unclear or insufficiently precise, making it unfeasible to summarize the data. The methods used were not sufficiently explicit and detailed. However, a majority of the fresh cadavers used tap water for declotting. Perfusion, type of fluid, number of pumps, pressure, pulsatility, and arterial or venous approaches differed greatly. Only two studies fulfilled five of our six realism criteria for surgical simulation.

conclusionsThis systematic review provided an overview of all the different cadaver perfusion techniques. It could be used to establish a reference method of a simulation model.
