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

backgroundHem-o-lock clip, a versatile and reliable non-absorbable tissue clip, has gained widespread acceptance in laparoscopic surgeries for vessel ligation and tissue approximation. Its efficacy and safety have been well-documented. CASE SUMMARY: This case report describes the occurrence of a bronchopleural fistula following the application of the Hem-o-lock clip for the treatment of a lobar bronchial stump after lobectomy.

conclusionThis case underscores the importance of exercising caution when using the Hem-o-lock clip for the management of non-vascular tissues during thoracic surgery.
