Perioperative outcomes of laparoendoscopic single-site extracorporeal versus intracorporeal cystectomy for benign ovarian cysts: a retrospective cohort study based on propensity score matching.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundOvarian cysts are the most common gynecological disease, and laparo-endoscopic single-site (LESS) cystectomy is a popular surgical procedure. A new laparoscopic technique combining the advantages of LESS surgery and open surgery has been introduced to treat large ovarian cysts. To our knowledge, no previous research has compared LESS-extracorporeal (LESS-E) cystectomy to LESS-intracorporeal (LESS-I) cystectomy. This study compared the perioperative results of LESS-E cystectomy and LESS-I cystectomy in the treatment of benign ovarian cysts.
methodsTwo hundred eighty-eight cases of cystectomy from our institutional database were retrospectively reviewed. 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to minimize bias due to any imbalanced baseline features between the 2 groups, which were matched in terms of age, body mass index, and the largest diameter of ovarian cysts. Seventy-nine cases were then selected from each group, and the perioperative outcomes of the 2 cohorts were analyzed.
resultsThe mean (standard deviation) largest diameter of ovarian cysts was 8.30 (3.56) cm in the LESS-I group and 9.14 (3.15) cm in the LESS-E group (P=0.118). No statistically significant difference was found between the 2 groups in terms of estimated blood loss, postoperative hemoglobin decline, postoperative pain in 24 hours, postoperative hospital stay, and total hospital costs (P>0.05). However, the mean operation time of the LESS-E group was shorter than that of the LESS-I group (85.01
conclusionsLESS-E cystectomy is a safe and feasible approach with a shorter operation time and lower spillage rate than LESS-I cystectomy.
