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

This postmarket clinical study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the novel adjunctive topical hemostat SURGICEL® Powder (SURGICEL®-P), a powdered form of oxidized regenerated cellulose. In a prospective, open-label, single-arm multicenter trial, adult surgical subjects with mild-to-moderate bleeding for which conventional hemostatic methods were impractical/ineffective were treated with SURGICEL®-P. Descriptive analyses included hemostatic success rate at 3, 5, and 10 min, rebleeding and thromboembolic events, SURGICEL®-P-related serious adverse events requiring surgical intervention, and SURGICEL®-P ease of use (questionnaire). In 8 centers, 103 subjects were enrolled with a median (range) age of 64.0 (33.0-88.0) years. Surgeries were open (53.4%) or laparoscopic/thoracoscopic (46.6%) and mostly urological (37.9%) and abdominal (32.0%) procedures. Bleeding sites included various tissue types, with a median (range) surface area of 4 (0.02-72.0) cm
