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

backgroundSynoptic operative reporting has been used as a solution to the poor quality of narrative reports. The aim of this study was to develop operative report quality indicators for the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and to generate parameters by which these reports can be evaluated and improved.

methodsA Delphi protocol was used to determine quality indicators for LSG. Bariatric surgeons across Canada were recruited along with key physician stakeholders to participate via a secure web-based platform. Transferrable consensus items for LSG from previously developed Roux-en-Y gastric bypass operative indictors were put forward for consideration. Participants also initially submitted potential QIs. These were grouped by theme. Items were rated on 5-point Likert scales in subsequent rounds. Scores of 70% or higher were used for inclusion and 30% or less denoted exclusion. Elements scoring 30% to 70% agreement were recirculated by runoff in subsequent rounds to generate the final list of quality indicators.

resultsSeven bariatric surgeons, representing all regions preforming LSG in Canada, were invited to participate in the Delphi group. Multidisciplinary invitees included one academic minimally invasive/acute care surgeon, one tertiary abdominal radiologist, and one academic gastroenterologist with bariatric expertise. Two rounds were required to achieve consensus. Both rounds achieved a 100% response (10/10). In round 1, forty items reached consensus. In Round 2, an additional 28 items reached consensus, with three items excluded, bringing the total number of quality indicators to 65.

conclusionThis study establishes consensus-derived multidisciplinary quality indicators for LSG operative reports. Application of these findings aims to advance the quality and completeness of operative reporting in LSG in order to improve communication of important surgical details and quality measures to the multidisciplinary team involved in bariatric surgery care.
