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

It is well known by surgeons that patient positioning is fundamental to exposing the organs when performing an operation via laparoscopy, as gravity can help move the organs and facilitate the exposure of the surgical site. But is it also important for endoscopic procedures? This paper examines various types of endoscopic operations and addresses the issue of the patient's position. The patient's position can be changed not only by rotating the patient along the head-toe axis but also by tilting the surgical bed, as is undertaken during laparoscopic surgical procedures. In particular, it is useful to take into account the effect of gravity on lesion exposure, tumour traction during dissection, crushing by body weight, risk of sample drop, risk of damage to adjacent organs, and anatomical exposure for procedures with radiological support. The endoscopist should always keep in mind the patient's anatomy and the position of the endoscope during operative procedures, not limited to considering only intraluminal vision.
