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

objectivesSingle-incision laparoscopic procedures have been gaining popularity in recent years due to their minimal incisional morbidity and improved cosmetic outcomes. Herein, we will compare the feasibility and outcomes of single-incision and conventional multiport laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy.

methodsThis study involves consecutive patients who underwent either single-incision or conventional multiport laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy from March 2007 to February 2014. The patients were divided into two groups, based on the surgical approach: single-incision laparoscopic surgery (Group 1) and conventional multiport laparoscopic surgery (Group 2). The parameters evaluated included estimated blood loss, operative time, postoperative pain, duration of hospital stay, complications, conversion, and final pathology.

resultsThere were a total of 20 patients, 10 in each study group. Baseline characteristics were similar, and there was no mortality in either of the groups. The low-flow pancreatic fistula was the most commonly seen morbidity, but it was ceased spontaneously in each group by a ratio of 30%. The operative time was significantly shorter in Group 2, with a mean of 116 minutes versus a mean of 180 minutes for Group 1 (p<0.001). One of the procedures in Group 2 was converted to open surgery due to peroperative bleeding. The median follow-up periods of the patients were 22 months and 56 months. The spleen was preserved in only 1 patient from Group 1, whereas in Group 2, the spleen preservation was achieved in 5 patients.

conclusionThe single-incision laparoscopic technique is a safe and effective alternative to standard laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy.
