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

objectivesA clear understanding of energy devices would help achieve high effectiveness and safety and guide the selection of devices. The present review aimed to elucidate the efficacy and adverse events of energy devices in lung cancer to guide the selection of appropriate devices depending on the situation.

methodsFour major databases were searched electronically for relevant articles published until 16 April 2021. The reference lists of the identified papers were examined. We excluded (1) irrelevant studies, (2) manuscripts published in languages other than English and Japanese, (3) duplicates, and (4) studies for which the full text was not available in the databases. The results and key information obtained were summarized by means of a narrative approach.

resultsA total of 78 papers were included in the review and these were categorized according to the main topic of investigation as follows: (1) electrosurgery-related injuries, (2) fundamentals of electrosurgery, (3) monopolar devices, (4) bipolar electrosurgical devices, (5) ultrasonic energy devices, (6) energy devices in lung cancer surgery, (7) operating room fire risks, and (8) basic principles of surgery.

conclusionsUnderstanding energy devices could help us use them in a more effective and safer manner. Knowledge of their selection criteria (suitability), merits, risks, and safety precautions relevant to each process of lung cancer surgery could guide appropriate selection.
