Comparison of short-term and survival outcomes for transanal natural orifice specimen extraction with conventional mini-laparotomy after laparoscopic anterior resection for colorectal cancer.
Article in Cancer management and research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 7 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
backgroundTransanal natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) in colorectal surgery has been introduced as a less invasive surgery. However, its long-term survival effects remain controversial. The aim of this study was to compare the short-term and long-term survival outcomes of transanal NOSE with those of the conventional laparoscopic approach with mini-laparotomy (LAP) for anastomosis construction and specimen extraction in sigmoid colon cancer or rectal cancer.
methodsFrom January 2007 to January 2018, a retrospective study was conducted at the China National Cancer Center. In total, 52 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic anterior resection with NOSE were matched with an additional 52 patients who underwent conventional LAP for colorectal cancer.
resultsPatients in the NOSE group experienced shorter time to passage of flatus (2.8±0.8 vs 3.2±0.9 days;
conclusionTransanal NOSE for total laparoscopic anterior resection is safe and feasible with more advantages, including lower pain, lower tissue trauma and faster recovery of intestinal function. Moreover, with proper protection of the surgical route, transanal NOSE has the same long-term outcomes as conventional laparoscopic surgery.
