1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeRecently, several studies have suggested that near-infrared (NIR) imaging using indocyanine green (ICG) may contribute to the reduction of anastomotic leakage (AL) after colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery. However, few reports have focused on the usefulness of NIR imaging for AL after stapled functional end-to-end anastomosis (stapled FEEA). The purpose of this study was to clarify the frequency of fluorescence abnormalities on NIR imaging, in cases reconstructed with stapled FEEA.

methodsThis retrospective study included patients with colon or appendiceal cancer who underwent laparoscopic colectomy with stapled FEEA reconstruction between March 2016 and August 2019.

resultsA total of 400 patients who were managed at our three institutions were included in the present study. The rate of Clavien-Dindo (CD) grade > III AL was 1.0% (4/400). The median length of postoperative hospital stay was 7 days (IQR 25-75th percentile 6-8 days). In 11 patients (2.8%), the transection line was changed by NIR imaging, due to fluorescence abnormalities. The rate of transverse colon involvement in anastomosis was significantly higher in cases with fluorescence abnormalities than in cases with normal fluorescence (p = 0.035).

conclusionsThe frequency of fluorescence abnormalities on NIR was 2.8% in cases of colon resection with reconstruction by using stapled FEEA. There was a probability of abnormal fluorescence on NIR in cases where the transverse colon was involved in the anastomosis. This means that NIR may have potential benefit in such cases.
