[Value of laparoscopy in blunt and penetrating abdominal trauma-a systematic review].
Synthesis in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 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
backgroundThe range of indications for laparoscopic procedures has been continuously widened in recent years. At the same time, however, the diagnostic and therapeutic role of laparoscopy in the management of blunt and penetrating abdominal trauma remains controversial.
methodsA systematic literature search was carried out in PubMed from 2008 to 2019 on the use of laparoscopy in blunt and penetrating abdominal trauma. Studies were analyzed in terms of relevant operative and perioperative event rates (rate of missed injuries, conversion rate, postoperative complication rate). On the basis of this analysis, an algorithm for the use of laparoscopy in abdominal trauma was developed for clinical practice.
resultsA total of 15 full texts with 5869 patients were found. With a rate of 1.4%, laparoscopically missed injuries were very rare for both penetrating and blunt abdominal trauma. Of all trauma laparoscopies 29.3% were converted to open surgery (laparotomy). Among the non-converted laparoscopies 60.5% were therapeutic. Complications occurred after trauma laparoscopy in 8.6% of cases.
conclusionBy means of systematic laparoscopic exploration, missed injuries in abdominal trauma are extremely rare, so that concerns in this respect no longer seem justified. A large proportion of intra-abdominal injuries can be treated using laparoscopy or laparoscopically assisted procedures.
