Hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy by transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (V-NOTES) assisted by an umbilical camera: Case report and new hybrid technique in gynecology.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04012710 (Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery- A New Approach to Salpingo-oophorectomy), which is not on this map.

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.
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.

Abstract
introductionNatural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is a new development in the field of minimally invasive surgery. The aim of this study was to demonstrate a new hybrid NOTES technique in gynecology which can be used for hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy in patients with adnexal pathology and multiple operation histories. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 50-year-old woman with gravida 2 para 2 was referred to our clinic with left-sided abdominal pain. She had a history of two previous abdominal surgeries and a persistent ovarian cyst for 2 years. An ultrasound examination revealed a left complex hypoechoic ovarian cyst of 10 cm. Tumor markers were normal and the patient had no suspicion for malignancy. The hybrid NOTES technique assisted by an umbilical camera was planned due to the possibility of pelvic adhesions and her concerns about cosmesis. DISCUSSION: The major difference between NOTES and umbilical camera assisted NOTES is seeing all of the major structures, such as the ureters, uterine vessels, bowels, and pelvic adhesions, which can lead to complications during the surgery. In fact, hybrid NOTES can make surgeries more feasible.
conclusionThis new hybrid NOTES offers effective and safer surgical management in patients who have had previous surgery and adnexal masses.
