Evaluation of the effectiveness of prophylactic omentopexy during laparoscopic insertion of peritoneal dialysis catheter: a case-control clinical trial.

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
introductionThe laparoscopic omentopexy has been described for the prevention of peritoneal dialysis catheter obstruction due to omental wrapping of the catheter. As there are some controversies and limited data regarding the outcomes of prophylactic omentopexy, we designed a study to evaluate the efficacy of prophylactic omentopexy in preventing catheter dysfunction in patients undergoing laparoscopic catheter placement. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this randomized clinical trial, patients with end-stage renal disease during 3 months were divided into two groups of peritoneal dialysis catheter implants with and without omentopexy and subsequently evaluated regarding postoperative features.
resultsA total of 43 patients were evaluated, including 22 undergoing prophylactic omentopexies. There was no significant difference among the baseline features of the patients. There was also no significant difference regarding postoperative features, including peritonitis, leakage, reoperation, need for catheter removal, and mortality.
conclusionProphylactic omentopexy did not cause any significant differences in complications. In addition, there was no benefit for decreasing postoperative outflow obstruction due to omental wrapping following peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion.
