Transanal hybrid colon resection: from laparoscopy to NOTES.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
backgroundReducing access size and trauma are important issues in natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). The combination of experience with laparoscopic colorectal surgery and transanal endoscopic microsurgery has helped in the use of the transanal approach as a realistic option of NOTES techniques to introduce transanal hybrid laparoscopic-assisted colon resection into clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical introduction of transanal hybrid colon resection in terms of feasibility and patient safety.
methodsPatients with pelvic floor disorders, prolapse, and slow-transit constipation in whom a colon resection was indicated were recruited. Patients were followed prospectively with a postoperative well-being score, a pain score, and a quality-of-life score. All complications were prospectively documented. The essential change was the reduction of the number and size of ports by using the transanal route. A camera and two 5-mm ports for grasping forceps and delivering ultrasonic energy were the laparoscopic components. All tasks requiring a port diameter of >5 mm were applied via the transanal route, such as positioning of the proximal stapler anvil, application of linear stapling for resection, specimen retrieval, stapler anastomosis, and closing the bowel.
resultsFifteen patients with benign colorectal disease underwent transanal hybrid colon resection, and 11 had additional rectopexy. All patients were women with a mean age of 61 (range, 28-86) years and a body mass index of 26 kg/m(2). One patient was converted to full laparoscopy. One complication--bleeding that required no reintervention--was recorded. The procedure lasted a mean of 131 (range, 55-184) min. The Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index was 96 before surgery and 117 after surgery.
conclusionsFrom this initial experience, transanal hybrid colon resection seems a feasible and safe hybrid NOTES procedure that can be usefully introduced into clinical practice.
