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

backgroundThe Vagi-Pipe® is a useful device for performing a total laparoscopic hysterectomy. The conventional model of the Vagi-Pipe® is unable to grasp the uterus during colpotomy for recovery of the resected uterus. However, the modified C-Type Vagi-Pipe® model has a shape that allows insertion into the vagina without removing the uterus manipulator. In this study, we will prospectively investigate the safety and efficacy of the C-Type Vagi-Pipe® in total laparoscopic hysterectomies. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn total, 25 female subjects aged between 20 and 60 years with uterine fibroids or adenomyosis will be included. Patients with complications regarded as unsuitable for this study by the investigators will be excluded. The C-Type Vagi-Pipe® will be used rather than the conventional Vagi-Pipe® when performing a total laparoscopic hysterectomy. The primary endpoint will be safety and the secondary endpoints will be operation time, bleeding volume, and presence of complications. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The protocol was approved by the institutional review boards. Written informed consent will be obtained from all patients before registration in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Results of the study will be disseminated via publications in peer-reviewed journals.
