Comparison of short-term outcomes between totally laparoscopic right colectomy and laparoscopic-assisted right colectomy: a retrospective study in a single institution on 300 consecutive patients.

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 surgery has become the standard surgical approach for the treatment of colon cancer. However, the surgical procedure for right colectomy is not standardized. Selection between laparoscopy-assisted right colectomy (LARC) with extracorporeal anastomosis and totally laparoscopic procedures with intracorporeal anastomosis is still a hot topic. The aim of this study was to compare the short-term outcomes of totally laparoscopic right colectomy (TLRC) and LARC in the treatment of right colon cancer.
methodsThis was a retrospective and single-center study conducted between January 2016 and December 2019 featuring 120 TLRC patients and 180 LARC patients following the principles of the CME. We then collated and analyzed the clinicopathological characteristics, operative characteristics, and short-term outcomes.
resultsThe baseline characteristics were balanced between two groups. TLRC was associated with a significantly lower estimated blood loss (p < 0.01), a shorter incision length (p < 0.01). In terms of postoperative recovery, patients in TLRC group were better, as confirmed by less postoperative pain (p < 0.01), less rescue analgesic usage (p = 0.04), faster to flatus (p < 0.01), defecation (p < 0.01), oral intake (p < 0.01) and discharge (p < 0.01). Incidence of postoperative complications according to Clavien-Dindo classification system was also similar in both groups.
conclusionsOur data demonstrate that TLRC is technically safe and feasible. This technique could lead to a better cosmetic outcome, a less pain experience and a faster recovery of bowel function.
