Smoking and tumor obstruction are risk factors for anastomotic leakage after laparoscopic anterior resection during rectal cancer treatment.
Article in Journal of the anus, rectum and colon, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesTo clarify the surgical outcomes and risk factors for anastomotic leakage (AL) following laparoscopic anterior resection (Lap-AR) for the treatment of rectal cancer.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the records of 175 consecutive primary rectal cancer patients who had undergone Lap-AR at our institution between April 2012 and November 2015. Patient, tumor, and surgical variables were analyzed using univariate analyses.
resultsOf 175 patients, 116 were men (66.3%). All four patients who had AL (2.3%) were men and current smokers with heavy smoking histories. In three of the AL cases, preoperative total colonoscopy was impossible owing to tumor obstruction, and the other case had concomitant obstructive colitis after oral bowel preparation. Univariate analysis identified tumor size, tumor obstruction, and smoking history as factors significantly associated with AL development.
conclusionsTumor size, tumor obstruction, and smoking history were risk factors for AL following Lap-AR for the treatment of primary rectal cancer.
