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

purposeWe developed the "Foot-Site Monitor" (FSM) to permit easy identification of multiple foot pedals of energy devices in endoscopic surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of the FSM.

methodsUsing a training box, 20 surgeons performed a task consisting of pressing foot pedals with and without the FSM. The time from showing a color on a PC monitor to pressing the foot pedal that corresponded to this color (defined as the completion time), and the distance of the movement of the tip of the surgeon's forceps from the beginning to the end of the task (defined as shaking of the forceps) were measured.

resultsThe use of the FSM was associated with significantly reduced shaking of the forceps (1.95 vs. 2.47 mm; p = 0.014), and a tendency toward a shorter completion time (1.39 vs. 1.51 s; p = 0.053).

conclusionsThe use of the FSM in endoscopic surgery contributes to reduced shaking of the forceps and may shorten the operative time.
