Transanal total mesorectal excision as a surgical procedure for diffuse cavernous hemangioma of the rectum: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe safety and feasibility of transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) were demonstrated in the management of rectal cancer. However, its role in the management of patients with diffuse cavernous hemangioma of the rectum (DCHR) has not been evaluated.
methodsA female patient with DCHR was admitted to our hospital. Colonoscopy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), abdominal computed tomography (CT) and arteriography were performed. Lesions were detected in mesorectum and rectal wall extending from the dentate line to 5cm proximally. TaTME with a protecting loop ileostomy were performed. The research work has been reported in line with the SCARE criteria Agha et al., 2016 [1].
resultsTaTME and a protecting loop ileostomy were safely performed, with an intact mesorectal specimen being harvested. The entire procedure took 348min. The estimated blood loss was 100ml. The patient recovered uneventfully. Her symptom of painless rectal bleeding was resolved satisfactorily following the surgery. The histopathological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of DCHR.
conclusionsTaTME appears to be a safe and feasible procedure for patients with DCHR in experienced hands.
