Correction to: Trocar site closure with a novel anchor-based (neoClose
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
After careful review, the authors have noticed the following mistakes in the article entitled "Trocar site closure with a novel anchor based (neoClose®) system versus standard suture closure: A prospective randomized controlled trial": - Correct closure times are 19.9 seconds (SD 9.9) for the study group and 31.0 seconds (SD 20.1) for the control group (initial incorrect values were 20.2 seconds (SD 10.1) and 30 seconds (SD 19.1) respectively). The new correct P-value is <0.0001 (initial incorrect P-value was 0.0002). - Correct maximal needle depth values are 3.2 cm (SD 0.93) for the study group and 4.9 cm (SD 1.97) for the control group (initial incorrect values were 3.3 cm (SD 0.9) and 5.2 cm (SD 1.6) respectively). P-value remains unchanged at <0.0001. For these two outcomes, some values of control group patients were mistakenly included in the study group. These errors only marginally affected the mean and standard deviation values. Statistical significance of the results was not affected and the conclusions of the study remain unchanged.
