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

backgroundAntimesenteric cutback end-to-end isoperistaltic anastomosis (Sasaki-Watanabe anastomosis; Sasaki-W anastomosis), which was developed in our department, is a novel hand-sewn anastomotic technique for Crohn's disease intended to prevent anastomotic stenosis and preserve the peripheral circulation.

aimThe aim of the present study is to present the surgical technique of Sasaki-W anastomosis and to assess the safety and the early results of the surgical anastomotic recurrence of Sasaki-W anastomosis. PATIENTS AND

methodsThe present study was a single-center retrospective cohort study. As an early-period group, 13 patients with Crohn's disease, who were mainly selected from cases considered to be at high risk of recurrence, underwent 15 Sasaki-W anastomoses from August 2009 to January 2012. As a late-period group, 36 patients with Crohn's disease, who were selected regardless of risk factors, underwent 37 Sasaki-W anastomoses from September 2016 to March 2020. The medical data including patient characteristics, surgical records, postoperative details, and surgical recurrences were assessed.

resultsThere were no intraoperative complications. With a median follow-up of 107 mo, surgical recurrence occurred in one patient at 106 mo after surgery in the early-period group. The cumulative surgical recurrence-free rate in the early-period group was 100% at 5 y and 86% at 10 y after surgery. No patients required reoperation in the late-period group.

conclusionSasaki-W anastomosis is safe and feasible. Although long-term study is needed, this anastomotic technique can be a reasonable operative option for Crohn's disease.
