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

•A large proportion of surgical trainees struggle with beginning a retrospective study.•We present a systematic approach for surgical trainees to use when beginning a new study.•Key concepts include developing the aim, conducting a literature review, data considerations, designing the study, and getting the study up and running.•By providing a systematic framework, surgical trainees that lack research experience now have a reference to aid their research design and project start-up.
