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/

aimDiabetes mellitus is an established risk factor of colorectal anastomosis failure. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of TISSEEL® in anastomotic healing. MATERIALS AND

methodsForty male, Sprague-Dawley rats were used. Diabetes was induced in half of them by intraperitoneal injection of Streptozotocin, 60 mg/kg. One week after the injection, animals were operated and a 1 cm segment was removed and an end-to-end hand sewn anastomosis was performed. TISSEEL® was applied in each group (diabetic, non-diabetic) following randomization.

resultsThe pathology analysis revealed improved tissue remodeling in the TISSEEL® group, both for the normoglycemic and the diabetic group. Specifically, the extent of inflammation was decreased (p<0.001), whereas fibroblast and collagen formation were improved (p=0.040 and p=0.008). Neovascularization was also improved (p=0.047).

conclusionApplication of TISSEEL® on colorectal anastomoses improves healing in rats that suffer from severe hyperglycemia.
