The short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic versus open surgery for colorectal cancer: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in International journal of colorectal disease, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 39 papers, 5 of them syntheses 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
purposeThe aim of the study was to compare short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic surgery and conventional open surgery for colorectal cancer.
methodsPublished randomized controlled trial (RCT) reports of laparoscopic surgery and open surgery for colorectal cancer were searched, and short- and long-term factors were extracted to perform meta-analysis.
resultsA total of 15 RCT reports (6,557 colorectal cancer patients) were included in this study. Blood loss of laparoscopic surgery was less by 91.06 ml than open surgery (p = 0.044). Operation time was longer by 49.34 min (p = 0.000). The length of hospital stay was shorter by 2.64 days (p = 0.003). Incisional length was shorter by 9.23 cm (p = 0.000). Fluid intake was shorter by 0.70 day (p = 0.001). Bowel movement was earlier by 0.95 day (p = 0.000). Incidence of complications, blood transfusion, and 30 days death were significantly lower in laparoscopic surgery than in open surgery (p = 0.011, 0.000, 0.01). But there was no significant difference in lymph nodes (p = 0.535) and anastomotic leak (p = 0.924). There was also no significant difference in 3 and 5 years overall survival (p = 0.298, 0.966), disease-free survival (p = 0.487, 0.356), local recurrence (p = 0.270, 0.649), and no difference in 5 years distant recurrence (p = 0.838).
conclusionsLaparoscopic surgery is a mini-injured approach which can cure colorectal cancer safely and radically, and it is not different from conventional open surgery in long-term effectiveness, so laparoscopic surgery can be tried to widely use in colorectal cancer.
