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

This statement on informed consent during an intraoperative consult, developed by the SAGES Ethics Committee, has been reviewed and approved by the SAGES Board of Governors. It provides a framework for conducting an intraoperative consult and evaluating that process afterward, with a particular focus on informed consent. This statement adds to our previous guidance on informed consent, Rawlings (Surg Endosc 34:4713-4716, 2020) which deliberately did not address the intraoperative consult due to its complexity.
