[Quality of life after rectal cancer surgery].
Review in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Multimodal treatment of advanced rectal cancer involves excision of the rectum in conjunction with pelvic radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Outcome assessment in oncologic surgery for rectal cancer has conventionally included data regarding perioperative mortality and morbidity, disease recurrence, and long-term survival. Throughout the past decade however research has increased in the field of patient-reported outcome, and quality of life (QoL) is now regarded as a key measurement in assessing outcomes of interventions. The aim of this review paper was to evaluate QoL assessment in different aspects of rectal surgery. In general patients undergoing abdominoperineal excision with permanent colostomy did not have poorer QoL measures than those undergoing anterior resection. Reversal of a dysfunctional loop ileostomy in surgery for low rectal cancer improves most patients' overall QoL. The previously reported short- and long-term QoL analysis of laparoscopic vs conventional open rectal surgery revealed no significant differences. In patients undergoing restorative resection for low rectal cancer, colonic J pouches offer significant advantages in function and QoL over straight anastomosis or coloplasty.
