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

Here, we describe the modified delta-shaped anastomosis (DSA) via the overlap method and how it was a beneficial intracorporeal anastomotic technique for four patients who underwent laparoscopic colectomy. After resecting the colon on both sides of the lesion, proximal and distal colon were laid in an overlap fashion and fixed using sutures. The entry hole was created using an ultrasound scalpel at a point 3 cm proximal to right colic stump and 7 cm distal to left colic stump on the anti-mesenteric side. Then, two arms of the linear stapler were inserted inside each lumen and fired. Finally, using the linear stapler, the common entry hole was closed in a delta-shaped manner. The mean duration of surgery was determined to be 218.4 (196-369) minutes, and amount of blood loss was measured to be 11 (5-25) mL. No intraoperative and postoperative complications were observed. Median postoperative hospital stay was 12 days. Thus, modified DSA via overlap method can be considered as a safe and simple IA technique.
