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

introductionThe SAGES Guidelines Committee creates evidence-based clinical practice guidelines (CPGs). Updates which incorporate new evidence into the guidelines are necessary to maintain relevance for clinical use. A description of our standard operating procedure for this process is described here, which contributes to SAGES' commitment to producing high-quality clinical recommendations.

methodsThis paper outlines the SAGES Clinical Practice Guideline Update Standard Operating Procedure in order to incorporate regular updates to our guideline development process.

resultsSAGES has developed an evidence-based, standardized approach in updating current clinical practice guidelines to ensure that physicians and patients have access to the most appropriate recommendations.

conclusionSocieties that promote guidelines within their organization must make an intentional effort to regularly evaluate the relevance of their recommendations. The SAGES Guidelines Update Standard Operating Procedure aims to provide a framework to reliably and systematically review existing guidelines and update them as needed.
