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

Bipolar vessel sealing systems are widely used in surgery, yet their effectiveness varies depending on the histological composition of the target vessel. In particular, the influence of elastin on seal stability is not well understood. Porcine carotid arteries, which show a pronounced proximal-distal elastin gradient, provide an ideal model for systematic analysis. In this study, fresh porcine carotid arteries were divided into three segments based on vessel diameter (<5 mm, 5-7 mm, >7 mm). Histological EvG staining was used to quantify elastin and collagen content. All vessels (n = 8 per group) were sealed using a bipolar marSeal
