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.

Abstract

Postoperative abdominal adhesions can lead to several adverse consequences such as pelvic pain, bowel obstruction, and infertility. We aimed to explore the anti-adhesion efficacy and safety of a thermo-sensitive sol-gel agent in patients who receive abdominopelvic surgery for benign gynecologic disease. This study was a randomized, controlled, single-blind clinical trial of women undergoing benign gynecologic surgery between January 2017 and December 2017. The patients were randomly assigned to three groups with a 1:1:1 ratio: experimental group (received the thermo-sensitive sol-gel agent), control group (untreated), and comparator group (received 4% icodextrin). Patients were followed for 4 weeks postoperatively, and efficacy was evaluated by performing the visceral slide test to identify adhesion formation. In total, 183 patients were enrolled in the study, and 178 (97.3%) completed the trial. The incidence rate of abdominal adhesion formation was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (7.9% vs. 21.1%,
