Two-port laparoscopic placement of a peritoneal dialysis catheter using guideline-based trans-rectus insertion, rectus sheath tunneling, and a dedicated exit site: a technical note.

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.
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
We describe a simple modification of the two-port laparoscopic technique for peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter placement incorporating guideline-recommended trans-rectus insertion and dedicated exit-site design. A 5-mm trocar is inserted through a small trans-rectus incision using an open (Hasson) technique and subsequently serves as the final catheter insertion site. After placement of the first port, a second 5-mm port is safely inserted at the planned superficial cuff site under laparoscopic guidance and subsequently serves as the camera port for the remainder of the procedure. After laparoscopic inspection, the PD catheter is introduced along an oblique trans-rectus pathway to enhance catheter stability, and the superficial cuff is secured at the port site. The catheter is then directed through a subcutaneous tunnel and exteriorized through a small exit site. This modification provides a simple and reproducible option for PD catheter placement.
