Laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision via mesofascial separation for left-sided colon cancer.
Article in Surgery today, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
purposeTo evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision (CME) via mesofascial separation for left-sided colon cancer.
methodsWe evaluated prospectively collected data on 65 consecutive patients with stage I-III left-sided colon cancer, who underwent laparoscopic CME between October 2011 and September 2016. After the exclusion of 5 patients who had T4b or other active tumors, 60 patients were the subjects of this analysis. The completeness of CME, preservation of the hypogastric nerve, operative data, pathological findings, complications, and length of hospital stay were assessed.
resultsCME completeness was graded as the mesocolic and intramesocolic plane in 54 and 6 patients, respectively. The hypogastric nerve was preserved in all patients. A total of 17, 12, 28, and 3 patients had T1, T2, T3, and T4a tumors, respectively. The mean number of lymph nodes retrieved was 16.2, and lymph node metastasis was identified in 22 patients. The mean operative time and intraoperative blood loss were 283 min and 38 ml, respectively. One patient had an intraoperative complication and six patients had postoperative complications. The hospital stay was 12 days.
conclusionLaparoscopic CME via mesofascial separation is a safe and feasible procedure for left-sided colon cancer.
