Kono-S anastomosis after intestinal resection for Crohn's disease.
Synthesis in Updates in surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundKono-S anastomosis was described for the first time in 2011 and it showed a lower surgical recurrence rate in patients with Crohn's disease when compared to the standard technique. The aim of this review is to assess the safety and effectiveness of this surgical procedure by analyzing the data existing in the literature. MATERIALS AND
methodsPubmed, EMBASE and Scopus databases were used as data sources for a systematic comprehensive search of all studies where Kono-S anastomosis was performed in patients with Crohn's disease. Perioperative data and clinical outcomes were measured.
resultsFive studies described the use of Kono technique to restore intestinal continuity. Postoperative complications rates seem to be acceptable, with the exception of one case regarding the surgical site infection and bowel obstruction rates of one of the studies compared to the others. Surgical recurrence rate ranges from 0 to 3.4% with significant differences between Kono-S anastomosis and other techniques in the only two existing comparative studies.
conclusionKono's anastomosis seems to be a safe procedure with encouraging results on the reduction of the need for reoperation due to relapse, but the few existing studies do not allow to draw final conclusions. Further comparative, randomized studies, with appropriate sample size, follow up and endoscopic evaluation are necessary to establish the real benefits in the use of this hand-sewn antimesenteric anastomosis compared to a stapled wide lumen side-to-side anastomosis.
