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

backgroundPreoperative localization is essential for minimally invasive colorectal surgery. However, conventional endoscopic tattooing agents such as India ink have safety issues. The availability of new endoscopic markers such as non-India-ink-based agent is limited. We assessed the efficacy and safety of preoperative endoscopic tattooing using autologous blood in colorectal surgery.

methodsFrom February 2016, all patients who required localization of a target lesion before colorectal surgery underwent endoscopic tattooing using autologous blood, and the outcomes were collected prospectively. As a comparison, we retrospectively reviewed the medical records of a further 51 consecutive patients who underwent endoscopic tattooing using India ink before February 2016. A total of 102 patients who underwent endoscopic tattooing using either India ink or autologous blood were included in this study. The primary outcomes were the visibility of the tattooing in the peritoneal cavity and related adverse events.

resultsEndoscopic tattoos produced using India ink were visible in 49 (96.1%) patients, and tattoos created using autologous blood were visible in 47 (92.2%) patients. In the autologous blood group, the tattoo could not be identified in four patients due to excessive peritoneal fat, bleeding tendency, congenital anomaly, and suboptimal tattooing. Seven (13.7%) patients in the India ink group and three (5.9%) patients in the autologous blood group experienced endoscopic tattooing-related adverse events.

conclusionsAutologous blood is a feasible and safe tattooing agent for preoperative endoscopic localization of colorectal lesions within maximal interval of 5 days.
