Snare-assisted flexible endoscope in trans-gastric endoscopic gallbladder-preserving surgery: A pilot animal study.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundNatural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) gallbladder-preserving surgery by flexible endoscopy is an emerging technology. However, the gallbladder fails to obtain traction and positioning functions during the operation.
aimTo evaluate the feasibility and safety of a new surgical method, "snare-assisted pure NOTES gallbladder-preserving surgery".
methodsEight miniature pigs were randomly divided into the experimental group [NOTES gallbladder-preserving surgery using the snare device, snare assisted (SA)] and the control group (NOTES gallbladder-preserving surgery without using the snare device, NC), with four cases in each group. The differences between the two groups of animals in operating time, operating workload, complications, adverse events, white blood cells, and liver function were determined.
resultsNo differences were found in the surgical success rate, gallbladder incision closure, white blood cell count, or liver function between the two groups. The total operating time, gallbladder incision blood loss, gallbladder disorientation time, gallbladder incision closure time, and workload scores on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration-Task Load Index were significantly reduced in the SA group (
conclusionThese results indicated that snare-assisted pure NOTES gallbladder-preservation surgery using standard endoscopic instruments reduced the difficulty of operation, shortened operation time, and did not increase complications in pigs. A new method for pure NOTES gallbladder-preservation surgery was provided.
