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

Panniculus morbidus is a complication of morbid obesity characterized by massive abdominal folds that hang below the beltline. Ulceration, dermatitis, and sinus tract formation of the pannus can cause significant morbidity to the patient and impair activities of daily living. If patients fail medical management, the next step is surgical excision. Challenging aspects of the procedure include adequate suspension of the pannus, cost, and prevention of intra-abdominal injuries. We present a case of a 70-year-old female with panniculus morbidus with endometrial carcinoma. We successfully performed a panniculectomy using a novel combination of towel hooks and the Hoyer lift to suspend the abdomen. In the same anesthesia event, she underwent robotic-assisted hysterectomy. No intra-operative or post-operative complications were encountered, and the patient was satisfied with her results. In this case, we demonstrated an effective and cost-efficient approach to panniculectomy in the severely obese patient.
