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

introductionLaparoscopic pyloromyotomy (LP) for the treatment of infantile hypertrophic pyloric has advantage of smaller incisions, faster recovery, reduction in wound-related complications and better cosmesis. Various laparoscopic knives and spreaders have been used for LP, but they do not provide the depth and tissue perception as in open surgery. We describe the laparoscopic hybrid pyloromyotomy (LHP) which makes procedure simple and safe without the requirement of any special instrument. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective and prospective comparative study was conducted over a period of 4.5 years in a tertiary teaching hospital in central India. All patients with infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis diagnosed on the basis of clinical history, examination and ultrasonography were included in the study. Retrospective data of three-port conventional LP (CLP) using monopolar diathermy hook for incision was used as control group against prospective data of 25 patients undergoing LHP. After a proper layout, LHP was done using one umbilical optical port, right paraumbilical grasper of holding the pyloric olive and an epigastric incision for hybrid pyloromyotomy using 11 no blade and blunt-tipped mosquito artery forceps.

resultsProspective group of LHP included 25 patients which were compared with a retrospective group of CLP consisting of 25 patients. On comparison of two groups, it was found that LHP reduces operative duration significantly. The outcome in terms of complications and recovery was comparable in two groups. None of the patients developed recurrence and required any redo surgery.

conclusionLHP is a simplified approach which is easy to learn and teach, improves safety and accuracy of the procedure.
