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

Objectives: Hand-sewn and stapled intestinal anastomoses are both daily performed routine procedures by surgeons. Yet, differences in micro perfusion of these two surgical techniques and their impact on surgical outcomes are still insufficiently understood. Only recently, hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has been established as a non-invasive, contact-free, real-time assessment tool for tissue oxygenation and micro-perfusion. Hence, objective of this study was HSI assessment of different intestinal anastomotic techniques and analysis of patients' clinical outcome. Methods: Forty-six consecutive patients with an ileal-ileal anastomoses were included in our study; 21 side-to-side stapled and 25 end-to-end hand-sewn. Based on adsorption and reflectance of the analyzed tissue, chemical color imaging indicates oxygen saturation (StO Results: StO Conclusions: Intraoperative HSI assessment is able to detect significant differences in tissue oxygenation and NIR of hand-sewn and stapled intestinal anastomoses. Long-term clinical consequences resulting from the reduced tissue oxygenation and tissue perfusion in hand-sewn anastomoses need to be evaluated in larger clinical trials, as patients may benefit from further refined surgical techniques.
