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

backgroundIn laparoscopic colectomy, overlap anastomosis (OA) is the most standard method of intracorporeal anastomosis. To avoid narrowing the anastomotic area, the closure of the enterotomy is often performed with handsewn running sutures of the monofilament. The purpose of this study was to compare two porcine in vitro colon models of stapled versus handsewn closure of enterotomy in intracorporeal OA.

methodsIn total, 40 porcine in vitro colon OA models (20 cases in the stapled closure, SC group, in which the enterotomy was closed with a stapler, and 20 cases in the handsewn closure with monofilament, HC group) were created, and anastomotic area with maximum intensity projection-computed tomography, anastomotic time, and leakage pressure were measured.

resultsIn the anastomotic area, there was no significant difference between in the SC group and HC group (474.0 ± 105.0 mm

conclusionsThe findings of this study using porcine in vitro colon model showed that, in OA, the anastomotic area was similar, anastomotic time was significantly shorter, and leakage pressure was significantly higher in SC compared with HC. The results suggest that SC may be superior to HC when performing intracorporeal OA in laparoscopic surgery for colon cancer.
