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.

Abstract

introductionSalpingectomy is currently suggested as an alternative to tubal ligation for sterilisation. Precursor lesions of ovarian carcinoma can be found in the fallopian tubes; thus, salpingectomy could possibly reduce the incidence. Most of the existing trials on safety are small, on caesarean section and report on surrogate ovarian function measures. Randomised trials in laparoscopy are lacking. Well-designed trials are needed to evaluate safety of laparoscopic opportunistic salpingectomy. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: In SALSTER, a national register-based randomised controlled non-inferiority trial, 968 women <50 years, wishing laparoscopic sterilisation will be randomised to either salpingectomy or tubal ligation. The Swedish National Quality Register of Gynecological Surgery (GynOp) will be used for inclusion, randomisation and follow-up. Primary outcomes are ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Performing salpingectomy for sterilisation has become increasingly common, despite the unclear risk-benefit balance. SALSTER studies the safety of salpingectomy compared with tubal ligation. Regardless of the result, SALSTER will provide gynaecologists with high quality evidence to inform women to decide on salpingectomy or not. The central ethical review board of Gothenburg, Sweden (Dnr. 316-18) approved the trial in 2018. Results will be presented at scientific congresses and published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. The results will be communicated through professional organisations and research networks. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03860805.
