Short- and long-term outcomes of laparoscopic surgery with extracorporeal anastomosis for transverse colon cancer: comparison of triangulating anastomosis with functional end-to-end anastomosis.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundWe compared triangulating anastomosis (TRI) with functional end-to-end anastomosis (FEEA) in terms of patient demographics, clinicopathological features, and short- and long-term outcomes in this study.
methodsFrom November 2005 to May 2016, 315 patients with transverse colon cancer underwent laparoscopic resection. TRI was performed in 62 patients and FEEA in 253 patients. Patients with another concomitant cancer, who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and/or who underwent another operation at the same time were excluded.
resultsThe patients' backgrounds were comparable in each group. Transverse colectomy was selected more frequently in TRI and right hemicolectomy in FEEA. The operation time was shorter in TRI. The rate of anastomotic leakage was comparable (1.6% in TRI vs. 0.8% in FEEA). Stricture was more common in TRI (8.1% vs. 0%) and bleeding was more common in FEEA (1.6% vs. 10.6%). The rate of long-term complications was comparable in each group. Overall survival of stage 0-III patients was comparable in each group (94.7% in TRI vs. 93.7% in FEEA). 5-year disease-free survival of stage 0-III, stage II, and stage III patients was also comparable in each group (94.8% vs. 93.0%, 100% vs. 92.1%, and 80.3% vs. 79.2% in TRI and FEEA, respectively).
conclusionThe short- and long-term outcome rates were acceptable in both groups. Specific attempts to prevent complications are required for each anastomotic procedure.
