Clinical and oncologic outcomes of laparoscopic versus open surgery in elderly patients with colorectal cancer: a retrospective multicenter study.
Article in International journal of clinical oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundLaparoscopic surgery is commonly used in elderly patients over 80 years old. The purpose of this study was to compare the perioperative and oncologic outcomes between laparoscopic surgery and open surgery in elderly patients with colorectal cancer.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients aged ≥ 80 years who underwent curative resection of colorectal cancer at six Hallym University-affiliated hospitals. The perioperative outcomes and oncologic outcomes were compared between laparoscopic and open surgery
resultsOf 294 elderly patients, 104 (35.3%) underwent open surgery and 190 (64.7%) underwent laparoscopic surgery. The postoperative hospital stay (P = 0.019) and time to soft diet (P = 0.009) were shorter in the laparoscopic group than in the open group. Postoperative complications were less frequent in the laparoscopic group than in the open group (P < 0.001), including wound infection (P = 0.005), ileus (P = 0.005), and pneumonia (P = 0.001). The 3-year overall survival (OS) (P = 0.982) and recurrence-free survival rates (RFS) (P = 0.532) were similar in both groups. In multivariable analyses, positive lymph node status was the only independent factor associated with OS (P = 0.019) and RFS (P = 0.012). Laparoscopic surgery was not associated with OS (P = 0.874) and RFS (P = 0.772).
conclusionLaparoscopic surgery offers several perioperative advantages over open surgery and similar long-term oncological outcomes for elderly patients with colorectal cancer. Therefore, we suggest that laparoscopic surgery can be safely performed for the treatment of elderly patients (≥ 80 years old) with colorectal cancer.
