Totally laparoscopic colectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis achieved using a laparoscopic linear stapler: experience of a single institute.
Article in Surgery today, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
purposeLaparoscopic colonic surgery is now widely accepted. We assessed the safety and effectiveness of using a total intracorporeal surgical strategy to perform intracorporeal functional end-to-end anastomosis with an endoscopic linear stapler to treat colon cancer.
methodsForty-three selected patients underwent elective laparoscopic colon resection for carcinoma. A total intracorporeal colon resection was performed in all patients, using a functional end-to-end anastomosis with an endoscopic linear stapler.
resultsGood results were achieved in all 43 patients, none of whom required conversion to open surgery with extracorporeal anastomosis. There have been no intraoperative complications related to this technique and no instances of postoperative anastomotic leakage, intra-abdominal abscess, or wound infection.
conclusionIntracorporeal functional end-to-end anastomosis using a linear stapler can be performed safely and easily for the resection of any part of the colon. We consider it an effective modality for totally laparoscopic colon resection. Favorable results have been achieved by this method, particularly for small tumors, since natural-orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery remains a challenging method to perform.
