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

Background: The use of the microsurgical vasovasostomy technique allows for greater precision and the use of extra-fine sutures, resulting in improved outcomes for vasectomy reversal procedures. The challenging nature of these microsurgical procedures has led to the investigation of robotic-assisted microsurgical vasovasostomy for decreased hand tremor and increased dexterity and hand-eye coordination. To date, no research has investigated vasovasostomy using the Symani Surgical System, a robotic device approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for microsurgical procedures. This study investigated the feasibility of using the Symani Surgical System to perform vasovasostomy for vasectomy reversal. Methods: In this prospective, controlled study, three surgeons performed vasovasostomy anastomoses on sections of Results: Three surgeons performed a total of 9 Conclusions: This study demonstrates that vasovasostomy can be successfully performed using the Symani surgical platform, with patency outcomes comparable to manual microsurgery as measured by measurement of anastomotic leaks, as well as technical advantages such as improved instrument stability as measured by number of suture breaks. Further research on the use of this surgical platform for vasovasostomy is warranted.
