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/
aimThree-dimensional (3D) laparoscopy is being steadily adopted instead of two-dimensional (2D) for various procedures. Our aim was to compare the outcomes between 2D and 3D laparoscopic procedures for colorectal cancer in order to ascertain the safety, efficacy and potential advantages of 3D imaging systems. MATERIALS AND
methodsA systematic database search was conducted in March 2019. Comparative studies reporting clinical outcomes between patients undergoing elective colorectal procedures using either 2D or 3D laparoscopic equipment were eligible.
resultsSix studies were selected, including 614 patients in total. Minor reduction in operative time, similar blood loss and increased number of harvested lymph nodes was noted for the 3D group. There was no difference for conversion to open surgery, time to flatus, postoperative hospital stay or postoperative complications.
conclusion3D Laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer may result in reduction of operative time and higher lymph node yields, leading to improved survival.
