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

During the last decade surgical treatment of rectal cancer has seen various improvements. Partial or total mesorectal excision (TME) became standard procedure. The surgical quality of the TME has a high effect on prognosis. Besides metastases, the circumferential resection margin receives the most attention. As recent studies established a distal resection margin of 1 cm, the rate of continence-preserving resections has grown, especially after neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy. In the hands of an expert, laparoscopic rectal resection is a technically safe procedure. Its oncological efficacy cannot yet be decided. Modern therapy for rectal cancer comprises multilateral considerations and therefore needs a multimodal orientation.
