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

STUDY

objectiveAssessment of safety and feasibility of total laparoscopic hysterectomy in a high-volume tertiary care centre.

designRetrospective study design.

settingTertiary care centre: Galaxy care Hospital, Pune, India. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis is a retrospective observational study conducted in a tertiary care resident training hospital in Pune which is a high-volume teaching hospital. 1200 total laparoscopic hysterectomy patients between July 2013 and June 2019 operated by a group of trained surgeons were analysed, and parameters, namely demography, indication of surgery, surgical time, intra-operative blood loss, post-operative complications, duration of hospital stay, discharge and follow-up, were studied.

resultsA total of 1200 women who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy for various indications were included in the study. TLH was successfully performed in all women. Mean age of women was 45 years. 72.00% had a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9, 16.08% had a BMI between 25 and 29.9, 3.92% had a BMI of > 29.9 while 8% had a BMI < 18.5. Indications for surgery included uterine fibroid (33.08%), adenomyosis (22.25%), endometrial hyperplasia (14.33%), endometrial polyp (7%), endometriosis (3.33%), postmenopausal bleeding (9.25%), chronic PID (5.25%), prolapse (4.25%) and risk reduction surgery in 1.25%. 2.00% had intra-operative complications while 7.58% had post-operative complications which were identified and managed successfully.

conclusionsAdvances and innovation in equipment, energy sources and surgical training have made TLH a well-tolerated and efficient surgery. Irrespective of the previous morbidity, pathology and uterine size, TLH is a duplicable and safe in a well-trained high-volume centre.
