Pre-embedded cervical circular stapled anastomosis in esophagectomy.
Article in Thoracic cancer, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundMechanical anastomosis is now widely used in surgery for esophageal cancer. An anastomotic fistula is still the most dangerous complication in mechanical anastomosis, especially for patients who undergo cervical anastomosis. However, due to the high anastomosis position and limited space, conventional embedding and suspension are rarely performed. This study aimed to introduce the steps of an improved embedded method in cervical circular stapled anastomosis and evaluate its efficacy in reducing complications.
methodsIn total, 31 patients who underwent minimally invasive esophagectomy were enrolled into the study. Pre-embedded cervical esophagogastrostomy with a circular stapler was adopted after thoracoscopic and laparoscopic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.
resultsThe results of surgical duration, blood loss, mean duration of hospitalization and operation complications such as anastomotic fistula, anastomotic stenosis and gastroesophageal reflux were recorded. The operative procedure lasted between 205-300 minutes with an average of 260.3 minutes. The postoperative recovery was good, with no complications such as anastomotic fistula, anastomotic stricture and pulmonary complication, except for two cases of gastroesophageal reflux. The postoperative hospital stay was 8-14 days with an average of 10.3 days.
conclusionOur data revealed that pre-embedded cervical circular stapled anastomosis is an alternative for patients with good stomach length, which can decrease the occurrence rate of anastomotic fistula by full peripheral embedding of anastomotic stoma. KEY POINTS: This new technique can significantly reduce the risk of anastomotic leakage. This study adds further details enabling a smooth pre-embedded procedure to be performed.
