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

purposeThe concept of complete mesocolic excision (CME) in right-sided colorectal cancer is well known for open and laparoscopic surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare perioperative and oncological outcomes of reduced port and open surgery for right-sided colorectal cancer.

methodsOne hundred forty-one patients received elective surgery for right-sided colonic cancer between January 2015 and December 2019 and were included in a retrospective database.

resultsWe observed longer operation time in the RP-CME group (145 min vs. 119.43 min, p<0.01). Hospital stay (8 days vs. 14 days, p<0.01) and time to first intestinal passage (42 h. vs. 59 h, p<0.01) were significantly shorter in the reduced port group. Postoperative complications were more likely to be observed in the O-CME group (7.2% vs. 14.1%, p=0.28); anastomotic leakage rate was low in both groups (1.8% vs. 2.4%, p=1.00). Specimen scores (score 1= good: 93.8% vs. 91.7%, p=1.00) and average number of retrieved lymph nodes were comparable (24 vs. 23 p=0.69). In O-CME patients, we observed more advanced tumor stages (UICC III: 21.4% vs. 45.9%, p<0.01).

conclusionTo our knowledge, this is the first study comparing reduced port to open surgery for right-sided colorectal cancer. We could demonstrate that this technique is feasible for oncological right hemicolectomy with observation of shorter hospital stay and lower morbidity rates compared to open surgery. The oncological outcome did not differ in the present study.
