Zheng's anchor suturing technique for safe and cosmetic umbilical incision in transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgeries.
Article in Surgery today, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (TU-LESS) is a new and evolving surgical method suitable for gynecological diseases, because of its minimal invasion and good cosmetic results. However, since the incision required for this procedure is longer than that for traditional laparoscopy, it may be associated with a higher incidence of postoperative incision complications, such as umbilical hernia, infection, hematoma, and poor wound healing. Moreover, the patient may be left with a misshapen umbilicus because intensive surgery is performed through a single umbilical incision. To minimize the incisional complications and meet patients' cosmetic expectations, we designed a novel suturing technique, named "Zheng's anchor suture technique". This video demonstrates the specific steps and shows photographs of patients' umbilici that were sutured by this technique, taken after recovery from various operations.
