Evolution of Surgical Treatment for Rectal Cancer: a Review.
Review in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
Surgery that produces an optimal total mesorectal excision (TME) resection specimen remains the cornerstone of curative rectal cancer management. In the modern era, despite the results of recent randomised trials, laparoscopic TME is a crucial technique in the TME surgery armamentarium. Laparoscopic surgery offers the benefit of magnified views that aid sharp and precise dissection. However operating in the confines of a narrow pelvis, particularly when the mesorectum is bulky, requires significant technical skill. This is compounded by limited angulation of laparoscopic instruments and staplers. The final challenge is to preserve the integrity of the mesorectum during delivery of the specimen. The principles of TME surgery, on which Bill Heald founded the Basingstoke Colorectal unit, can equally be applied to laparoscopic, transanal and robotic TME, but great care must be taken to preserve the key principle-that no steps are taken that have the potential to shed tumour cells or compromise the quality of the mesorectal specimen.
