Operative Feasibility and Short-Term Oncologic Outcome of Rigid Versus Flexible Platforms in Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision.
Article in Indian journal of surgical oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Several transanal platforms were used to perform transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME). They can be classified into rigid reusable platforms or flexible single-use platforms. The choice of transanal platform usually depends on the availability and the surgeon's discretion. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to compare the operative and oncologic outcome of flexible and rigid platforms during TaTME. This is a retrospective cohort study in which rectal cancer patients operated by TaTME in two tertiary centers from June 2013 to April 2019 were included. They were classified into two groups according to the platform used either the rigid platform group (
