Which combination cause less inflammatory response during laparoscopic hysterectomy? Ligasure plus monopolar cautery or harmonic plus bipolar cautery?
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objective: We aimed to compare the inflammatory response with alterations in hemogram parameters, in patients who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy and Methods: Patients who underwent Laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral Results: During study period, a total of 462 patients underwent hysterectomy for benign gynecologic pathology. After exclusion, 212 patients were included in the study. İn the study group, 147 patients were operated with ligasure plus monopolar electrocauter and 65 with harmonic scalpel plus bipolar electrocautery. İn the postoperative period, regardless of the procedure, WBC and RPR count increase, hematocrit and trombocyt decrease in both group but the inflammatory markers lymphocyte count, neutrophyl, NLR, PLR and MPVLR count changed less in the harmonic plus bipolar cautery group which shows less inflamatuar response in this group. Conclusions: Ligasure plus monopolar cautery group compared with harmonic plus bipolar cautery group cause more inflammatory changes in complete blood count values. However, further studies are needed to show whether these changes in laboratory findings affect clinical situations.
