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

introductionNatural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is a new concept of minimally invasive surgery. It could prevent complications related to the trocar in laparoscopic surgery, and help achieve ideal cosmetic outcomes.

aimTo describe the safety and feasibility of the prone position in transvaginal NOTES (V-NOTES) resection of posterior uterine myoma. MATERIAL AND

methodsSeventeen patients were included in the study from February to December 2019. All the patients were diagnosed with solitary posterior uterine myoma and underwent V-NOTES myomectomy in the prone position. We measured the characteristics and the surgical outcomes of these patients, to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the prone position in V-NOTES myomectomy.

resultsThe mean age of the patients was 38.71 ±7.68 years and the mean body mass index was 22 ±2.02 kg/m

conclusionsThe prone position in V-NOTES myomectomy is safe and feasible. It expands the operative space and reduces the difficulty of surgery. Perhaps it can be used as a standard position for posterior uterine myomectomy by V-NOTES.
