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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of using electrostatic precipitation to manage the surgical plume during low pressure laparoscopic gynecologic procedures.

methodsThis was a prospective, blinded, randomized controlled study of women with a clinical indication for laparoscopic hysterectomy (n = 30) or myomectomy (n = 5). Patients were randomized to either use electrostatic precipitation (EP) during the procedure, or not (No EP, hysterectomy group only).

resultsLow pressure surgery could be undertaken in 87% of hysterectomy cases (13/15) when using EP to manage the surgical plume, compared to only 53% (8/15) in the No EP group. Overall average rating of the visual field was excellent with EP vs fair for No EP. Average CO

conclusionElectrostatic precipitation enhances low pressure laparoscopic hysterectomy and myomectomy. This was achieved by minimizing interruptions to surgery and exchange of CO
