1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Although numerous studies have reported the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer, the results of large multicentre randomized controlled trials have been lacking. A study including 1,103 patients has now shown that laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer can result in similar safety, resection margins and completeness of resection with improved recovery compared with laparotomy.
