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

objectives(1) Compare perioperative complications of vNOTES to other minimally invasive AS, (2) review prior comparative literature, and (3) describe the rates of different minimally invasive AS routes in the United States. STUDY

designA retrospective cohort study was performed with data on female patients with benign diagnoses undergoing vNOTES, robotic, laparoscopic, and vaginal AS in 2022 from the NSQIP database. PubMed and ClinicalKey were used to conduct a comprehensive literature search.

resultsOf the 7374 AS cases included, 21.3% were vaginal, 4.9% vNOTES, 37.1% robotic, and 36.7% laparoscopic. After adjustment, there were no significant differences in the odds of perioperative composite complications with vNOTES when compared to the other routes of surgery, with rates between 4.28 and 6.21%. Operative time for vaginal AS was shorter at 125 [87-173] minutes, followed by vNOTES at 134 [84-191], laparoscopic at 146 [103-199], and robotic at 172 [129-231]. Median hospital length of stay (LOS) was significantly shorter with vNOTES (n = 0) than with other routes (n = 1). In the seven studies included in the literature review (639 patients total), there were no significant differences in blood transfusion rates, postoperative complications, wound complications, urinary tract infections, reoperation, or surgical cost.

conclusionvNOTES demonstrated similar complication rates to more commonly used routes of AS, supporting findings noted in our literature review.
