Electrosurgical Devices Used During Laparoscopic Hysterectomy.
Synthesis in JSLS : Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Hysterectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in the United States and most are now being performed in a minimally invasive approach. Electrosurgery and vessel sealing devices are needed in order to provide hemostasis and vascular coaptation; however, there is no guiding evidence and limited recommendations for the use of the currently available devices for laparoscopic hysterectomy. The purpose of this study is to provide a systematic review of electrosurgical devices used in benign hysterectomy and perform a meta-analysis to find the overall effect of various outcomes. Database: A systematic review was performed by searching the literature using MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Review, Science Citation Index Expanded, Emerging Sources Citation Index, Scopus, Epistemonikos, and SciELO databases from each database's inception date until May 2023. Conclusion: Advanced bipolar vessel sealing devices demonstrate reduced blood loss and operative times when compared to conventional electrosurgery, however more high-quality evidence and cost analysis is needed to strengthen the clinical significance of these findings.
