Intra-versus extracorporeal anastomosis in laparoscopic right colectomy: a meta-analysis of 3699 patients.
Synthesis in International journal of colorectal disease, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
backgroundLaparoscopic right colectomy (LRC) has become a gold standard. However, a major current concern is still whether anastomosis should be performed extracorporeally or entirely laparoscopically. This meta-analysis assesses and compares peri- and postoperative outcomes of intracorporeal anastomosis (IA) versus extracorporeal anastomosis (EA) in LRC.
methodsThe research used the PubMed, Embase and Cochrane databases for studies comparing IA with EA during LRC. Our main endpoint was parietal abscess. Secondary endpoints were 30-day morbidity, mortality, time to onset of gas and stools, length of stay, number of lymph nodes removed and postoperative incisional hernia rates. The MINORS criteria were used to evaluate the quality of the studies examined.
resultsTwenty-four articles comprising 3699 patients, published between 2004 and 2020, were included in this meta-analysis. After sensitivity analysis, IA was associated with a decrease in parietal abscesses (OR 0.526, IC 0.333-0.832, p = 0.006).
conclusionThis meta-analysis finds that IA allows a decrease in parietal abscesses and time to first gas and stools, surgical repair and length of stay, with similar overall complications.
