[Lymph node dissection for carcinomas of the lower gastrointestinal tract. What is evidence-based?].
Review in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Evidence-based analysis of the influence of lymph node dissection on the prognosis of colorectal cancer patients is complicated by the now well-established multimodal treatment strategies. In addition surgical quality criteria, such as exact preparation along the mesenterial fascia and avoiding tears have a major influence on the prognosis.Nevertheless, the overall evidence for the need of lymph node dissection in the treatment of colorectal carcinoma is high. However, there are still some questions remaining concerning the extent of pericolic lymph node dissection, inclusion of the lymph nodes along the greater curvature of the stomach and the inferior aspect of the left pancreas in carcinomas of the transverse colon and the flexures. In particular the definitive central ligation of the supplying arteries in right-sided colon carcinoma is not adequately implemented worldwide.
