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

backgroundSurgical methods have profited from the exchange of knowledge among different specialties. Endoscopy which was introduced by gynecologists, surgeons, and internists is used now by all disciplines, and most of yesterday's laparotomies have now endoscopic alternatives. However, laparotomies are still needed, and there is no agreement among surgeons about what is the optimal abdominal incision. The Joel-Cohen incision which is used by gynecologists and obstetricians could become a valid alternative to the methods in use.

methodThe Joel-Cohen Method, which was evolved for abdominal hysterectomy is described here in detail. Only two instruments are used to open the abdomen, usually with no need for hemostasis.

conclusionThe Joel-Cohen incision is suggested as a valid alternative for any emergency or elective surgical or urological abdominal operation. Its benefits are short operation time diminished blood loss and less need for analgesics.
