Surgical activity during the Covid-19 pandemic: Results for 112 patients in a French tertiary care center, a quality improvement study.
Article in International journal of surgery (London, England), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundAfter the emergence of Covid-19 in China, Hubei Province, the epidemic quickly spread to Europe. France was quickly hit and our institution was one of the first French university to receive patients infected with Sars-COV2. The predicted massive influx of patients motivated the cancellation of all elective surgical procedures planned to free hospitalization beds and to free intensive care beds. Nevertheless, we should properly select patients who will be canceled to avoid life-threatening. The retained surgical indications are surgical emergencies, oncologic surgery, and organ transplantation. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe describe the organization of our institution which allows the continuation of these surgical activities while limiting the exposure of our patients to the Sars Cov2.
resultsAfter 4 weeks of implementation of intra-hospital protocols for the control of the Covid-19 epidemic, 112 patients were operated on (104 oncology or emergency surgeries and 8 liver transplants). Only one case of post-operative contamination was observed. No mortality related to Covid-19 was noted. No cases of contamination of surgical care personnel have been reported.
conclusionWe found that the performance of oncological or emergency surgery is possible, safe for both patients and caregivers.
