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

backgroundTotally laparoscopic anterior resection (TLAC) is difficult even for experienced surgeons because of difficulties in fixating the anvil of circular stapling device with laparoscopy. We herein report a novel technique of laparoscopic manual binding technique (MBT) to conduct intracorporeal anastomosis by the double-stapling technique (DST) for high-mid rectal cancer.

methodsSince April 2019, MBT for intracorporeal anastomosis in TLAC were performed for 12 patients. After the total mesorectal excision, the anvil of a circular stapling device is put in the abdominal cavity through the anus and inserted into the proximal colonic stump. At the pre-anastomotic site, the intestinal wall of colon is fully fixated on the central rod of the anvil with surgical suture No. 0 by manual binding with laparoscopic instruments as laparoscopic grasping forceps, in addition, double binding if necessary. Then, the end of the colon and rectum is anastomosised by the double-stapling technique (DST).

resultsA total of 12 patients completed the operation successfully. Only one patient experienced fever (T < 38.5 °C) after operation. No patients experienced surgical complications greater than Clavien-Dindo grade I.

conclusionsWe introduced the usefulness of the MBT to improve TLAC. MBT for intracorporeal anastomosis in TLAC for high-mid rectal cancer is safe and feasible.
