Low anterior resection syndrome after right- and left-sided resections for colonic cancer.
Article in BJS open, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: This population-based cohort study aimed to evaluate occurrence of low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) and correlate this to health-related quality of life in patients who had undergone segmental colonic resection for colonic cancer in the Stockholm-Gotland region. The hypothesis was that there is a difference in occurrence of LARS depending on whether a right- or a left-sided resection was performed. Methods: Patients who underwent segmental colonic resection for colonic cancer stages I-III in the Stockholm-Gotland region in 2013-2015 received EORTC QLQ-C30, QLQ-CR29 and LARS score questionnaires 1 year after surgery. Clinical patient and tumour data were collected from the Swedish ColoRectal Cancer Registry. Patient-reported outcome measures were analysed in relation to type of colonic resection. Results: Questionnaires were sent to 866 patients and complete responses were provided by 517 (59·7 per cent). After right-sided resection 20·6 per cent reported major LARS. After left-sided resection the proportion with major LARS was 15·6 per cent. The odds ratio (OR) for major LARS after right-sided resection was 1·45 (95 per cent c.i. 1·02 to 2·06; Conclusion: Major LARS was more frequent after right-sided than following left-sided colonic resection. Major LARS reflected impaired quality of life.
