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

backgroundBile duct injury and vasculobiliary injury are possible complications during laparoscopic cholecystectomy which can lead to increased morbidity, mortality, costs of hospitalization and litigation. Proper documentation of the critical view of safety and safe plane of dissection may play a crucial role for archivization, teaching and medicolegal purposes.

methodsThe study group consisted of 100 patients with symptomatic cholecystolithiasis qualified for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The critical view of safety was documented on two photographs and safe plain of dissection obtained with laparoscopic ultrasound was documented on one photograph as well as the whole procedure was recorded. The photographs were printed in the operating theatre and videos were stored on an external hard drive.

resultsThe mean time to obtain and analyse photographs was significantly shorter than video, and the size of the stored data was significantly smaller for photographs than videos. The cost of one documentation procedure was significantly lower for video than photographs. Critical view of safety was obtained in 91 patients, and laparoscopic ultrasound was successful in 99 patients. The conversion rate was 2%, and fundus-first cholecystectomies were performed in 6% of patients. We did not observe any biliary and vascular complications.

conclusionsPhotographic documentation of the critical view of safety and safe plane of dissection should be an inherent part of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Our proposal of documentation prepared in the operating theatre and stored in the patient's documentation is an example of an easy, fast and cheap method of data archivization.
