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

aimTo compare long- and short-term outcomes of laparoscopic surgery with those of open surgery for patients with colorectal cancer and body mass index over 25 kg/m

resultsThe 3-year recurrence-free survival rates were similar for the laparoscopic and open surgery groups. The laparoscopic surgery group had longer operative times but less blood loss and shorter periods of hospital stay. There were no differences in incidence of postoperative complications.

conclusionLaparoscopic and open surgeries had similar long-term outcomes for obese patients. Laparoscopic surgery is an effective option for this population.
