Short-term outcomes following laparoscopic resection for colon cancer.
Trial report in International journal of colorectal disease, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02086123 (Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing the Use of Perioperative Epidural Analgesia to Conventional Intravenous Narcotics and NSAIDS for Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Colorectal Resection), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 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.

Abstract
backgroundLaparoscopic resection for colon cancer has been proven to have a similar oncological efficacy compared to open resection. Despite this, it is performed by a minority of colorectal surgeons. The aim of our study was to evaluate the short-term clinical, oncological and survival outcomes in all patients undergoing laparoscopic resection for colon cancer.
methodsFrom July 2005 to December 2008, 202 consecutive patients underwent laparoscopic resection for colon cancer. Surgery was analysed on an intention to treat basis. The mean follow-up was 24.3 months.
resultsTwo hundred twenty-two patients underwent resection for colon cancer. Two hundred two underwent laparoscopic resection (91%). One hundred sixteen were male patients. Mean age was 65.9 years (range = 24-91). The median length of stay was 6.6 days (mean = 7.1 days). One hundred eighty-eight of 202 (93.1%) were completed laparoscopically. Fourteen (6.9%) were converted. The overall morbidity rate was 15.8%. There were three clinically apparent anastomotic leaks. The 30-day mortality was 1 (0.5%). The mean nodal yield was 13.4 (range = 8-37) nodes. There were no positive margins detected. Overall survival in laparoscopically treated colon cancer was 88.1%. In those patients with non-metastatic disease, the overall survival was 90.7% (165/182).
conclusionLaparoscopic resection for colon cancer is achievable in 85% (188/222) of patients. This facilitates adequate oncological clearance. It is associated with a low morbidity rate and favourable short-term survival outcomes. This data reflects the potential outcomes dedicated MIS colorectal units will have to offer colon cancer patients once laparoscopic colorectal surgery becomes the de facto surgical approach.
