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

backgroundOpportunistic bilateral salpingectomy (OBS), also called as prophylactic salpingectomy or risk-reducing salpingectomy is the concurrent removal of the fallopian tubes in premenopausal women. Though there are some studies comparing the intraoperative complications and effect of salpingectomy on ovarian reserve, limited data are available on long-term follow-up after OBS. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: To evaluate the surgical outcome of routine bilateral salpingectomy during total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) in terms of intraoperative and postoperative complications. We also evaluated the incidence and reoperation rate for adnexal pathology after TLH.

methodsA retrospective study of 1470 patients undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) with opportunistic bilateral salpingectomy (OBS) over 13 years was carried out at Paul's Hospital.

resultsThe mean age of the subjects was 43.6 ± 4.2 years, mean body mass index was 27 ± 5.4 kg/m

conclusionsOBS is a simple and short surgical step during TLH without increasing morbidity. OBS eliminates the risk of future diseases of tubal origin, and there might be a possible reduction in incidence and reoperation rate for future ovarian pathologies.
