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

backgroundOptimal visualization of the operative field and methods that additionally provide supportive optical information form the basis for target-directed and successful surgery. This article strives to give an overview of current enhanced visualization techniques in visceral surgery and to highlight future developments.

methodsThe article was written as a comprehensive review on this topic and is based on a MEDLINE search and ongoing research from our own group and from other working groups.

resultsVarious techniques for enhanced visualization are described comprising augmented reality, unspecific and targeted staining methods, and optical modalities such as narrow-band imaging. All facilitate our surgical performance; however, due to missing randomized controlled studies for most of the innovations reported on, the available evidence is low.

conclusionMany new visualization technologies are emerging with the aim to improve our perception of the surgical field leading to less invasive, target-oriented, and elegant treatment forms that are of significant benefit to our patients.
