Comparison of short-term surgical outcome between 3D and 2D laparoscopy surgery for gastrointestinal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2020. 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
backgroundThree-dimensional (3D) laparoscopic surgery is becoming more popular with the development of laparoscopic devices. The objective of this study was to explore whether the 3D imaging system could improve surgical outcomes of laparoscopic surgery for gastrointestinal cancer compared with the 2D imaging system.
methodsSystematic literature search was performed using PubMed and Embase databases and relevant data were extracted. Surgical quality, postoperative complications, and postoperative recovery between 3D and 2D laparoscopic surgery groups were compared using a fixed or random effect model.
resultsA total of 12 studies involving 1456 patients (3D group 683 patients and 2D group 773 patients) were included in this meta-analysis. The results indicated that mean operation time was significantly shorter in 3D group than in 2D group (WMD, - 9.08; 95% CI, - 14.77, - 3.40; P = 0.002; I
conclusionMain advantages of 3D laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer were that it could shorten the operation time and reduce the amount of intraoperative blood loss. However, 3D laparoscopic surgery had no obvious advantage over 2D laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer patients.
