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

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to develop a remote-controlled injection device for T-tube cholangiography to avoid occupational exposure. MATERIAL AND METHODS The remote-controlled injection device has 3 major components: an injection pump, a pressure sensor, and a wireless remote-control panel. The feasibility and effectiveness of this device for T-tube cholangiography was evaluated in ex vivo porcine livers using a laparoscopic training platform and in in vivo canine experiments. RESULTS The contrast dye was successfully injected into the biliary tracts of the ex vivo porcine liver and canines by the designed device. The X-ray images clearly showed the anatomical structure of the bile ducts. No obvious adverse reaction was observed in the dogs during or after the procedure. All steps were controlled remotely, avoiding ionizing radiation exposure to the surgeons. CONCLUSIONS This novel remote-controlled injection device for T-tube cholangiography can assist operators in completing cholangiography remotely and protecting them from occupational exposure.
