Short- and long-term outcomes of rectal cancer patients with high or improved low ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery.

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
The ligation site of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) during laparoscopic radical resection for rectal cancer has been controversial. Consecutive patients (n = 205) with rectal cancer who underwent laparoscopic-assisted low anterior resection from January 2009 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into high ligation (n = 126) and improved low ligation groups (n = 79). A total of 205 rectal cancer patients underwent laparoscopic assisted anterior resection: 126 patients in the high ligation group and 79 patients in the improved low ligation group. The improved low ligation group was better than the high ligation group in terms of postoperative flatus time and postoperative defecation time. There were no differences between the groups in terms of blood loss, operation time, total number of lymph nodes, anastomotic leakage, postoperative time to first liquid diet and postoperative hospital stay. There were also no differences in 5-year overall survival (OS). Compared to high ligation, the improved low ligation ensures the extent of lymph node dissection, and promotes the early recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function, but does not increase the operation time, bleeding risk, or anastomotic leakage. A ligation site of the IMA in laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery may not influence oncological outcomes.
