Deformation of the Pelvic Arteries Caused by Pneumoperitoneum and Postural Changes in an Animal Model.

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.
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/
aimWe investigated pelvic arterial deformation and shift due to intraoperative pneumoperitoneum and postural changes in an animal model. MATERIALS AND
methodsComputed tomography images of pigs were acquired in different body positions (supine, head down at 5° and 10°, right lateral recumbent at 5° and 15°) before and after insufflation. We used a free software (3D Slicer) for image analysis. After landmark registration using 10 markers inserted into the pelvis, pelvic arterial deformation and shift of seven arterial bifurcation points were evaluated. The distance moved was the target registration error (TRE) from the points registered in the supine position. Fiducial registration error (FRE) was measured using the 10 pelvic markers.
resultsTRE average from postural changes ranged from 0.7 to 1.2 mm and was 1.4 mm due to pneumoperitoneum. TRE and FRE averages were 2.1 mm and 0.2 mm, respectively.
conclusionThe pelvis was useful for registering anatomical landmarks.
