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

purposeComplete mesocolic excision (CME) with central vascular ligation (CVL) has been widely accepted as a surgical treatment for right-sided colon cancer. Single-site laparoscopic colectomy (SLC) is associated with reduced pain and improved cosmesis, in comparison to the multi-site laparoscopic colectomy (MCL). Although the feasibility of CME + CVL under MCL has been reported, SLC for right-sided colon cancer is generally challenging. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate our efforts to standardize the SLC for right-sided colon cancer.

methodsThis retrospective study enrolled 202 consecutive patients with right-sided colon cancer who underwent laparoscopic colectomy for right-sided colon cancer, using an inferior approach and intraoperative navigation surgery, between 2008 and 2014. The patients were divided into 3 groups, based on the period of treatment, as follows: Period I (2008-2009, n = 56), Period II (2010-2011, n = 70), and Period III (2012-2014, n = 76).

resultsThe patient's baseline characteristics did not differ among the three periods. The ratio of SLC significantly increased with the passage of the time. The short-term outcomes were similar among the three periods. As for oncological clearance, there was a significant increase in the number of resected lymph nodes with the passage of the time (P < 0.05).

conclusionsWe successfully standardized SLC for right-sided colon cancer.
