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

purposeTo determine the physical and mental impact on the primary surgeon, by the patient's and surgical staff's dispositions at the operating table, during laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis is a randomized and controlled study that included 18 laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy procedures performed by two surgeons in a private and academic hospital. The cases were randomized for the American or French position. After surgery, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration - Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) and the Body Part Discomfort (BPD) scales were applied to the primary surgeon.

resultsAn increased workload and more discomfort were reported when using the French position. The NASA-TLX was 28 ± 8 vs. 57 ± 18 (p = 0.001), and the BPD was 2 vs. 8 (p = 0.001).

conclusionsThe American position resulted in a lower physical and mental impact on the surgeon when performing a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
