Bowel function and quality of life after minimally invasive colectomy with D3 lymphadenectomy for right-sided colon adenocarcinoma.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundChanges in bowel function after right-sided colectomy are not well understood compared to those associated with left-sided colectomy or rectal resection. In particular, there are concerns about bowel function after right-sided colectomy with complete mesocolic excision, which has become popular in the West.
aimTo evaluate the functional outcomes of patients who underwent right-sided colectomy with D3 lymphadenectomy for colon cancer.
methodsFunctional data from patients who underwent minimally invasive right-sided colectomy for colon cancer from October 2017 to September 2018 were prospectively collected. Functional outcomes were evaluated preoperatively and at 3, 6, 12, and 18 mo postoperatively.
resultsPrior to surgery, 57 patients answered the questionnaire, and 47 responded at three months, 52 at 6 mo, 52 at 12 mo, and 25 at 18 mo postoperatively. Most scales of quality of life and bowel function improved significantly over time. Urgency persisted to a high degree throughout the period without a significant change over time. The use of medications for defecation was about 10% over the entire period. Gas (
conclusionDespite D3 lymphadenectomy, most bowel symptoms improved over time after right-sided colectomy using a minimally invasive approach, and continuous medication was needed in only approximately 10% of patients.
