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

Fifteen years ago, laparoscopic surgery of rectal cancer was considered as radical in terms of oncology as open surgery. A trend to reduce surgical injury may be observed in surgery in recent years. In this paper the first experience in the new minimally invasive method of anterior rectal resection is described - through the transanal way. The procedure duration was 130 min. The use of transanal access in rectal cancer surgery is undoubtedly an alternative method to standard laparoscopic surgery. In patients with a large tumour in the lower rectum, the technique allows a longer rectal stump to be left below the resection border.
