Which Is the Safer Anastomotic Method for Colon Surgery? - Ten-year Results.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
BACKGROUND/
aimIn colon surgery, the anastomotic method is generally selected by surgeon's preferences or by local conditions. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed anastomotic complications to assess safe methods of anastomosis in colonic resection. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed a total of 684 cases, performed between July 2003 and June 2013 in our Hospital. Anastomosis complications, such as leakage, stricture and bleeding, were analyzed in relation to the three methods of anastomosis, hand-sewn (HS), functional end-to-end (FEEA) and triangulating anastomosis (TRI).
resultsUnivariate analysis indicated that the incidence of leakage was significantly lower in laparoscopic surgeries (p=0.034) and TRI (p=0.047). The results of the multivariable analysis indicated that anastomotic leakage was significantly less with TRI (p=0.029).
conclusionIn colon surgery, TRI seems to be associated with a low risk of anastomotic leakage compared to HS and FEEA.
