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

Introduction: Periumbilical adhesions may complicate laparoscopic entry and increase the risk of intraoperative injury, yet the isolated effect of prior cesarean section (CS) remains unclear. Aim: We aimed to evaluate the association between a history of CS and periumbilical adhesions in total laparoscopic hysterectomy, and assess the value of the visceral slide. Materials and methods: A total of 100 patients undergoing total laparoscopic hysterectomy were enrolled and divided into 2 groups: individuals with a history of CS and those with no prior abdominal surgeries. Preoperative visceral slide and intraoperative adhesion assessment were performed. Perioperative outcomes were recorded and a multivariable analysis was conducted. Results: Adhesions were more frequent in the CS group (22% vs 10%; Conclusions: A history of CS alone does not significantly increase periumbilical adhesions or compromise entry safety in total laparoscopic hysterectomy. Routine modification of the entry strategy may not be necessary. The visceral slide is useful for confirming adhesions, but does not exclude them.
