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 total mesorectal excision has now become the 'gold standard' for the surgical management of rectal cancer, this is not so for colon cancer. Recent data, provided by Hohenberger and West et al. and others, have demonstrated excellent oncological outcomes when mesenterectomy is extensive (as is implicit in the concept of a 'high tie') and the mesenteric package not violated. Such studies highlight the importance of understanding the basics of the mesenteric organ (including the small intestinal mesentery, mesocolon, mesosigmoid and mesorectum) and of abiding to principles of planar surgery. In this review, we first offer classic descriptions of the mesocolon and then detail contemporary thinking. In so doing, we provide an anatomical basis for safe and effective complete mesocolic excision (CME) in the management of colon cancer. Finally we list opportunities associated with the new anatomical paradigm, demonstrating benefits across multiple disciplines. Perhaps most importantly, we feel that a crystallized view of mesenteric anatomy will overcome factors that have hindered the general uptake of CME.
