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

objectiveRadical hysterectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection is the treatment of choice for cervical cancer. All gynecologic oncologists should master this technique. The surgical procedure requires a wide dissection of the female pelvis. Performing radical hysterectomy without a thorough knowledge of the anatomy of the female pelvis can lead to serious complications. For novice surgeons to safely perform radical hysterectomy, mastering the 3-dimensional anatomy of the pelvis and aligning the dissection lines of radical hysterectomy to the female pelvic anatomy is crucial. Educational materials that demonstrate the anatomical relationship between dissection lines in radical hysterectomy and the surrounding pelvic structures are lacking. We aimed to create educational material to overcome these problems.

methodsLaparoscopic nerve sparing, non-nerve sparing, and super-radical hysterectomies, exposing pivotal pelvic anatomical structures, were performed on a Thiel-embalmed cadaver.

resultsNerve sparing, non-nerve sparing, and super-radical hysterectomies were laparoscopically performed in the right hemi-pelvis of the cadaver. We exposed the external and internal iliac vessels; obturator, sciatic, femoral, hypogastric, and pelvic splanchnic nerves and the pelvic nerve plexus; internal obturator, piriform, and coccygeal muscles; sacrospinous ligament; and ischial spine. Thus, we demonstrated where the dissection lines of the various radical hysterectomies are in a female pelvis.

conclusionUsing a Thiel-embalmed cadaver, we demonstrated the relationship between the dissection lines of various radical hysterectomies and pivotal sidewall anatomical structures in a female pelvis. The anatomical detail shown in the video captured during this procedure may assist surgeons to safely perform various radical hysterectomies.
