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

Rats are suitable animal models in which to study the effects of gastric bypass surgery. However, construction of gastrojejunal anastomosis in the rat is technically demanding and is associated with high rate of postoperative complications. The aim of this study was to explore the feasibility and efficacy of the magnetic compression technique (MCT) in side-to-side gastrojejunal anastomosis in rats. Thirty male rats underwent gastrojejunal anastomosis using one of three techniques: hand-sewn, magnetic compression using cuboid magnets, and magnetic compression using magnetic rings. The mean anastomosis time using the magnetic compression technique was significantly less than that of the hand-sewn technique (3.6 ± 0.96 and 6.50 ± 1.58 vs. 14.40 ± 2.37 minutes,). The survival rate was highest in animals treated with magnetic compression using cuboid magnets (100%), followed by animals treated with magnetic compression using magnetic rings (90%) and then hand sewing (70%). The mean burst pressure did not differ significantly between the magnetic compression and hand-sewn anastomoses. Anastomoses constructed by magnetic compression were smoother and flatter than hand-sewn anastomoses. The results showed that MCT is a simple and feasible method for gastrojejunal anastomosis in the rat.
