Protocol for a multicentre randomized clinical trial comparing oncological outcomes of D2
Article in BJS open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03009227 (Study of Oncological Outcomes of D3 Lymph Node Dissection in Colon Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
Background: The extent of lymph node dissection in colonic cancer surgery remains arguable, and evidence from RCTs regarding extended lymph node dissection outcomes is lacking. This study aimed to compare the long-term results of D3 lymph node dissection with those of D2 dissection. Methods: This is a multicentre RCT. The aim is to enrol 768 patients with primary colonic cancer assigned randomly to D2 or D3 lymph node dissection. The trial is assessing the superiority of 5-year overall survival as the primary endpoint in patients undergoing D3 lymph node dissection Discussion: The results of this study will demonstrate whether extended lymph node dissection is superior to standard dissection in terms of oncological outcomes, and will also assess the impact of more extensive surgery on short-term outcomes and quality of life.
