Esophageal reconstruction with colon tissue.
Review in Surgery today, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
The present best practice for performing esophageal reconstruction using colon tissue was investigated in this review. The left colon has advantages in that it has less variation in blood supply and a smaller diameter than the right colon; however, the rate of graft necrosis is higher for the left colon. Additional microvascular anastomosis, which is unnecessary in most cases, may be able to resolve these issues. The colon graft should be reconstructed in an isoperistaltic fashion whenever possible in order to prevent regurgitation and improve food transit. The posterior mediastinum has the advantage of being the shortest route, but it also has the major disadvantage that graft necrosis can be severe or fatal if it occurs. In palliative or advanced cases, a retrosternal or subcutaneous route is preferred, because the posterior mediastinum is a tumor bed. However, in these cases partial excision of the manubrium and the left clavicula should be considered to release compression of the graft at the thoracic inlet. Consequently, the selection of the colon graft should be flexible and be based on the inspection of blood supply and the length needed, and thereafter microvessel anastomosis should be added in cases where graft ischemia might occur.
