Lymph node assessment in colorectal cancer surgery: laparoscopic versus open techniques.
Observational study in Il Giornale di chirurgia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
aimThe aim of our study is to compare the outcomes of laparoscopic resection (LR) and open resection (OR) for colorectal cancer surgery evaluating lymph node assessment. It may be important to remove and examine an adequate number of lymph nodes because a more extensive nodal resection has been associated to higher survival rate and lower recurrences. PATIENTS AND
methods150 patients (74 females and 76 males) with colorectal cancer were enrolled and analyzed from January 2006 to March 2010 in our Unit. 100 procedures were performed with traditional laparotomy and 50 procedures laparoscopically. A strict follow-up was scheduled every 1-3-6 months after surgery and, therefore, every year.
resultsLaparoscopic techniques require a longer operating time. 2484 total lymph nodes examined with a mean of 16,56 removed per resection in all procedures. 1632 lymph nodes were removed during open procedures and 852 removed during laparoscopy. The scheduled follow-up demonstrated that local recurrence and distant metastasis presented with no significant differences between two groups and overall survival and disease-free survival were assessed over 5 year in 80% of patients.
conclusionsAccording to our experience, laparoscopic colorectal surgery is safe and feasible, with better short-term outcomes and oncological adequacy comparable to open approach.
