Elastic Intra-corporeal Retractor for Bariatric and Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery.

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
introductionIn minimally invasive upper gastrointestinal and bariatric surgery, proper organ retraction, especially liver retraction, is essential to achieve better per-operative precision and safety. Most currently used methods require specific material which might not be available in all hospitals. We introduce an easily reproducible low-cost trocar-less elastic intra-corporeal retractor (ICR). MATERIALS AND
methodsICR was created then used in two institutions where around 500 upper gastrointestinal and bariatric procedures are jointly performed yearly. Its design and application require an elastic rubber band, three staples, and a needle holder. For liver retraction, ICR is anchored to the right diaphragmatic crus and the anterior abdominal wall, creating a triangular shaped retractor.
resultsICR requires around 2-3 min for application and can be easily repositioned for adequate exposure. Its trocar-less and intra-corporeal characteristics offer the advantage of decreasing the risk of bleeding, infection, and liver injury accompanying additional trocars, transcutaneous punctures and conventional retractors.
conclusionICR is a safe, effective, inexpensive, and easily reproducible intra-corporeal organ retractor which can be used in both laparoscopic and robotic bariatric surgery.
