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

This review aims to outline the current perspectives of surgery in the COVID 19 pandemic associated with the pitfalls in implementing the emerging guidelines to continue patient care without compromising safety, both from the surgeons' and the patients' points of view. The fight between the surgeon and the pandemic will be a dragging one since the post-pandemic infflux of surgical patients coupled with the 'new normal' practices to prevent COVID 19 spread requires pertinent resources, well-trained personnel, and co-operation among different departments. Emergency surgeries and cancer care have continued all this while, undoubtedly, with unwanted delays and distress. While we continue to prepare ourselves and work in a whole new environment, surgeons are facing the increased chances of litigations and compromised safety. We review what we have come to understand about safe surgical practices during and after the pandemic and the unanswered questions.
