Laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer patients who underwent previous abdominal surgery.

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
backgroundLaparoscopic colorectal surgery may be impeded by intraperitoneal adhesions caused by previous abdominal surgery. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of previous abdominal surgery on short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 3188 patients with primary colorectal cancer who underwent laparoscopic colorectal surgery between January 2004 and December 2013. Patients with a history of abdominal surgery (n = 593, 18.6 %) were compared to those without such history (n = 2595, 81.4 %).
resultsPatients who had undergone previous abdominal surgery exhibited acceptable intraoperative outcomes, including conversion to open surgery, operative time, estimated blood loss, and the number of harvested lymph nodes. Overall, postoperative complication rates were similar between the groups (10.8 vs. 10.6 %, p = 0.885). Subgroup analysis revealed that patients with history of major abdominal surgery (n = 165) had higher rates of conversion to open surgery (4.2 vs. 1.7 %, p = 0.033), prolonged postoperative ileus (5.5 vs. 2.0 %, p = 0.008), and wound complications (4.2 vs. 1.2 %, p = 0.006), when compared to those without prior abdominal surgery. Previous major abdominal surgery was an independent risk factor for conversion to open surgery [adjusted odds ratio = 2.740; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.197-6.269]. Disease-free survival [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) = 0.847; 95 % CI 0.532-1.346] and overall survival (adjusted HR = 0.846; 95 % CI 0.432-1.657) were not observed to differ between the previous major abdominal surgery group and those without previous abdominal surgery.
conclusionLaparoscopic colorectal surgery in patients with a history of abdominal surgery exhibited acceptable short- and long-term outcomes. Patients with a history of previous abdominal surgery had relatively higher rate of conversion to open surgery as well as higher incidences of prolonged postoperative ileus and wound complications compared to patients without such history.
