Retrospective, matched case-control study comparing the oncologic outcomes between laparoscopic surgery and open surgery in patients with right-sided colon cancer.

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
purposeThe short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic surgery for right-sided colon cancer remain largely uninvestigated. This study was undertaken to compare the morbidity and mortality after either a laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (LRHC) or an open right hemicolectomy (ORHC) for this type of tumor.
methodsThe study group included 100 patients who underwent an LRHC and 100 patients who underwent an ORHC for right-sided colon cancer from 1990 through 2004. The two groups were retrospectively well matched with respect to sex, age (+/-5 years), and pathological tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage.
resultsThe median follow-up period was 83 months in the LRHC group and 105 months in the ORHC group. The LRHC group had a lower volume of intraoperative bleeding (P < 0.001), a lower rate of wound infection (P = 0.019) or postoperative intestinal obstruction (P = 0.013), and a shorter hospital stay (P < 0.001) than the ORHC group. The rate of recurrence did not differ significantly between the LRHC group (19%) and the ORHC group (22%). In patients with TNM stage I or II, the disease-free survival (DFS) rate (94.9% vs 95.1%) and overall survival (OS) rate (95.8% vs 95.0%) did not differ significantly between the two groups. A similar tendency was observed in patients with stage III with the rates for DFS (71.3% vs 60.4%) and OS (73.6% vs 64.1%), respectively.
conclusionsAn LRHC for right-sided colon cancer has the advantage over an ORHC of better short-term outcomes, and both groups have similar long-term oncologic outcomes. An LRHC is thus an acceptable alternative to an ORHC for the treatment of this type cancer.
