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

Endometriosis surgery is often very challenging. Key to complete resection of endometriosis is access to the retroperitoneum. Endometriosis can involve the ureter and uterine vessels, and ovary on the lateral pelvic wall makes retroperitoneal access difficult. Primary and post-surgical adhesions prevalence in endometriosis is very high. Ovariopexy, transposition of ovaries temporarily, is done for better surgical access and to reduce postoperative adhesions. We concluded that although limited evidence, ovariopexy is an excellent tool to aid endometriosis surgery and prevent postoperative adhesions. It is cost effective, simple and complication rate almost nil. More robust trials are required to substantiate evidence for its impact on preventing postoperative adhesions and its effect on fertility. In this review, we describe our technique of ovariopexy supplemented with a video, with the aim to put light on this useful and important technique, which is beneficial both for surgeons and patients.
