A meta-analysis of laparoscopy compared with open colorectal resection for colorectal 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
The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of the overall complication, mortality, and recurrence rate between laparoscopic resection and open surgery for colorectal cancer. We searched the Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library and systematically reviewed the randomized controlled trials by comparing the overall complication, mortality, and recurrence rate between laparoscopic resection and open surgery for colorectal cancer. Fifteen trials with 4,207 patients who reported long-term outcomes of the overall complication, mortality, and recurrence rate were included. The combined results of the individual trials showed no statistically significant difference in the odds ratio (OR) for overall recurrence (OR 0.92, 95% CI, 0.77-1.11, P=0.34), local recurrence (OR 0.81, 95% CI, 0.59-1.12, P=0.20), distant metastasis (OR 1.01, 95% CI, 0.78-1.30, P=0.95), wound-site recurrence (OR 1.97, 95% CI, 0.77-5.02, P=0.16), colorectal cancer-related mortality (OR 0.82, 95% CI, 0.66-1.02, P=0.07), colon cancer-related mortality (OR 0.85, 95% CI, 0.66-1.09, P=0.20), rectal cancer-related mortality (OR 0.76, 95% CI, 0.53-1.11, P=0.16), and overall mortality (OR 0.87, 95% CI, 0.73-1.73, P=0.11) between the laparoscopic surgery and open surgery groups. The overall complications in the laparoscopic surgery group were much lower than that in the open surgery group (OR 0.71, 95% CI, 0.58-0.87, P=0.001). This meta-analysis showed that the successful laparoscopic colorectal resection for colorectal cancer was as effective as open surgery in terms of the oncological outcomes, thereby suggesting that laparoscopic surgery can be continued in patients with colorectal cancer.
