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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to compare postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing standard laparoscopic salpingo-oophorectomy versus those using the MiniLap percutaneous surgical system, aiming to demonstrate the non-inferiority of this ultra-minimally invasive surgical technique compared to the current gold standard.

methodsThis was a retrospective, single-center propensity-matched case-control study. A total of 80 surgical patients undergoing salpingo-oophorectomy for benign pathology were selected, with 40 in each group (MiniLap in group A and S-LPS in group B). Postoperative pain was subjectively reported at 2, 4, 12, and 24 h after surgery. The secondary outcomes of this study were to evaluate differences in the duration of surgery, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, and cosmetic results.

resultsThe median operative time was 57.7 min (range, 28-125) in group A and 75.5 min (range, 22-180) in group B (P value 0.005). No statistical differences were recorded in terms of estimated blood loss (P value 0.05), length of hospital stay (P value 0.74), complications (P-value 0.31), and postoperative pain (P value 0.06 at 2 h postoperatively). Cosmetic outcomes acquired through subjective assessment by the patient and surgeon at discharge and 1 month after surgery demonstrated a statistically significant higher satisfaction rate in the MiniLap compared to the S-LPS group.

conclusionOur study demonstrates that salpingo-oophorectomy performed with the MiniLap system is feasible, safe, and well-tolerated by patients. Furthermore, this technique has proven to be non-inferior to standard LPS in terms of postoperative pain, blood loss, hospital stay duration, and complications.
