Surgical manipulation related to the risk of postoperative complications in laparoscopic gastrectomy: a case-control study assessing full surgical videos.

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
backgroundRisky surgical manipulations that can cause postoperative intra-abdominal infections (IAICs) have not been identified in gastric cancer surgery. We conducted a study to evaluate surgical videos and identify risky surgical maneuvers.
methodsThis was a multicenter case-control study. Patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy with lymph node dissection for gastric adenocarcinoma were enrolled in this study. Patients who developed IAICs after surgery were defined as cases, and a control group adjusted for patient background characteristics was selected using propensity score matching. Using an 11-item rating scale specific to gastric cancer surgery developed by experts, two raters blinded to the outcome scored the unedited surgical videos on a five-point scale. The mean difference in the scores for each item was evaluated to identify risky manipulations. We also evaluated the Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) as a general evaluation instrument.
resultsAfter excluding patients for whom a video evaluation was not possible, 121 cases and 114 controls were included in this analysis. Risky surgical maneuvers strongly associated with the occurrence of IAICs were identified, including accidental pancreatic injury during peri-pancreatic lymph node dissection, bleeding from the pancreas, improper hemostatic manipulation, and blunt compression of the pancreas. The reconstructive manipulations were not at risk, and all OSATS items were also significantly better in the control group than in the case group.
conclusionWe identified the risk of surgical manipulation associated with postoperative complications in this case-control study, with strict adjustment for patient risk factors.
