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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesThe aim of this study was to define new techniques for performing vaginal closure with endo-staplers to prevent tumor spillage during laparoscopic surgeries for endometrial cancer and early stage cervical cancer.

methodsThirteen patients were retrospectively studied for the use of endo-staplers for vaginal closure before colpotomy during laparoscopic surgeries for endometrial cancer and early stage cervical cancer to prevent tumor spillage.

resultsThere were no short-term or any long-term complication related to the use of the endo-staplers for colpotomy in the surgeries included in this study.

conclusionUse of the endo-staplers to close the vagina before colpotomy according to the technique described is safe and feasible, with prevention of gross spillage of any malignant cells in the peritoneal cavity or vagina, which will further have a favorable oncologic outcome.
