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

backgroundTo investigate the safety and effectiveness of a double semipurse string suture method for jejunum fixation in laparoscopic needle catheter jejunostomy in minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (MIILE).

methodsTwo hundred and six esophageal cancer patients continuously receiving MIILE from March 2014 to February 2018 were enrolled. In all patients, the double semipurse string suture method was applied for jejunum fixation in laparoscopic needle catheter jejunostomy. The methods and details of this technique are introduced herein. General information, clinical data, postoperative complications and follow-up results were retrospectively analyzed, and the complication causes and treatment methods are discussed.

resultsLaparoscopic needle catheter jejunostomy-using the double semipurse string suture method was successfully performed in 206 patients. The operative time of laparoscopic needle catheter jejunostomy was 10.56±2.04 min. No conversion to laparotomy or postoperative death or serious infection associated with the jejunostomy tube occurred. The incidence of complications associated with the jejunostomy tube was 16.50% (34/206), and most of the complications were mild. Severe complications occurred in 2 cases (0.97%), which were cured after reoperation, without serious consequence.

conclusionsThe double semipurse string suture method is safe, simple and feasible for the jejunum fixation in laparoscopic needle catheter jejunostomy in MIILE. It is worth popularization and clinical application.
