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

purposeThe magnetic compression technique (MCT) is a new surgical method that has been used for gastrointestinal anastomosis, choledochojejunostomy, and intestinal anastomosis, but there are no reports on its use for esophagogastric anastomosis. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of using MCT to fashion esophagogastric anastomoses in rabbits.

methodsTwenty rabbits were randomized into an MCT group (study group, n = 10) and a hand-sewn group (control group, n = 10). The magnetic compression anastomosis device used in this study was made of neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) and possessed parent (PMR) and daughter (DMR) magnetic rings. To fashion the anastomosis, the PMR and DMR were inserted into the lower esophagus and gastric fundus, respectively. The coupled magnets automatically compressed the sandwiched tissues and were expelled once the anastomosis was installed. The two groups were further compared in terms of the anastomosis construction time, survival rate, and postoperative complications. One month after the anastomosis was installed, the burst pressure and gross appearance of the anastomoses were evaluated.

resultsThe anastomosis construction time in the study group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (10.50 ± 1.58 min vs. 18.60 ± 2.22 min; P < 0.05), and the magnetic rings were defecated out in 10.70 ± 3.49 days. The incidence of anastomotic blockage in both the study and control groups did not differ significantly (0%, 0/10 vs. 20%, 2/10; P > 0.05). Anastomotic leakage was not found in either of the groups, and the anastomoses burst pressures were similar in the two groups. However, the magnetically compressed anastomoses in the study group had a relatively smoother gross appearance than the hand-sewn anastomoses.

conclusionThe magnetic compression anastomosis device is a safe and feasible tool for fashioning esophagogastric anastomoses in this animal model.
