Regional lymph nodes distribution pattern in central area of right-sided colon cancer: in-vivo detection and the update on the clinical exploration.
Article in American journal of cancer research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Distribution of regional lymph nodes (LNs) is decisive for the lymphadenectomy boundary in radical resection of right-sided colon cancer (RCC). Currently, the data of LNs in central area remains ambiguous and scarce. Herein we aim to provide a more detailed anatomical research on LNs surrounding the superior mesenteric vessels for RCC and investigated the metastasis rate. In this study, Carbon Nanoparticles (CNs) and Indocyanine Green (ICG) were used for regional LNs mapping by preoperative colonoscopic tattooing (PCT) and we laparoscopically observed the stained LNs distribution pattern. Lastly, 143 RCC patients who received a "superior mesenteric artery (SMA)-oriented" hemicolectomy were included to calculate the probability of LNs metastasis in our target area. 27 patients diagnosed as RCC (mean age 58.04 years, 17 male) were included. 14 patients underwent CNs injection and 13 patients consented to the ICG, while 4 cases suffered from imaging failure. The unequal number of the regional LNs located between SMV and SMA was detected in 22 cases (81.48%), posterior to SMV area in 6 cases (22.22%), and anterior to SMA in 16 cases (59.26%), respectively. The presence of LNs posterior to SMV was associated with the crossing pattern of ileocolic artery (χ
