Abdominal Compliance and Laparoscopy: A Review.
Review in JSLS : Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesCreating and maintaining a pneumoperitoneum to perform laparoscopy is governed by gas laws and the limiting physical constraints of the abdomen.
methodsA review of how gas, biomechanical and physical properties affect the abdomen and a systematic structured Medline and PubMed search was conducted to identify relevant studies related to the topic.
resultsAbdominal compliance is a measure of ease of abdominal expansion and is determined by the elasticity of the abdominal wall and diaphragm. It is the change in intra-abdominal volume per change in intra-abdominal pressure. Caution should be exercised with pressures exceeding 12 millimeters mercury since this is defined as intra-abdominal hypertension.
conclusionsAbdominal compliance has its limits, is unique for each patient and pressure-volume curves cannot be easily predicted. Using the lowest possible pressure to accomplish the surgical task without compromising surgical outcome is the desired goal. The clinical importance is caution and knowing there is a point where more pressure does not increase working space and only increases pressure.
