Article in Surgical case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07782580 (Low-Pressure AirSeal Versus Conventional Insufflation in Major Minimally Invasive Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery - A Randomized Controlled Trial), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundLaparoscopic surgery has reduced surgical morbidity and postoperative duration of hospital stay. Gas embolism is commonly known as a risk factor for all laparoscopic procedures. We report a case of severe cerebral infarction presumably caused by paradoxical CO CASE PRESENTATION: A male in his 60 s was diagnosed with recurrence of liver metastasis in the right hepatic lobe after laparoscopic lower anterior resection for rectal cancer. We performed laparoscopic partial hepatectomy with an AirSeal® under 10 mmHg of intra-abdominal pressure. During the surgery, the patient's end-tidal CO

conclusionsA patent foramen ovale is found in approximately 15-20% of healthy individuals. While gas embolism is a rare complication of laparoscopic surgery, cerebral infarction must be considered a possible complication even if the intra-abdominal pressure is constant under 10 mmHg with an insufflation management system.
