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
backgroundRecent developments in classical minimally invasive surgical procedures for colon resection aimed to minimize or even eliminate abdominal wall incisions, thus improving postoperative pain, patient recovery and aesthetics. A promising approach is the total laparoendoscopic colectomy (LEC) with transanal sample extraction. The aim of this study was the comparison of total LEC with conventional laparoscopic assisted surgery (LAS) and extraction incision.
methodWe included 168 consecutive patients (LEC:112; LAS:56) with diverticular disease, rectal prolapse, benign or malignant tumors and analyzed retrospectively. The specimen was extracted transanally by LEC with a specially developed rectoscope; the LAS group required a minilaparotomy of 5 cm. The primary outcome was postoperative pain. Secondary outcomes included operating time, minor and major complication rates, number and length of extracted specimens, additional pain medication and duration of hospital stay.
resultsThe measured postoperative pain score values did not significantly differ between the two groups; however, consumption of postoperative pain medication was significantly higher in the LAS-group (p < 0.001). Due to the learning curve, the median operating time in the LEC group (120 min) was slightly longer than in the LAS group (100 min); however, it was reduced to 95 min in the last 50 operations. Patients in the LEC group were discharged from hospital one day earlier (median duration of hospital stay 6 days, p = 0.003). Compliaction rates were similar in both groups.
conclusionThe technique of total LEC with transanal specimen extraction is designed to avoid a minilaparotomy and its associated morbidities. The LEC operation is feasible for a large group of patients, including overweight patients. The superiority of LEC in terms of reduced pain medication, shorter hospital stay and faster patient recovery, as shown in this study, needs to be confirmed by randomized controlled trials with longer follow-up periods.
