Laparoscopy for Crohn's disease: A comprehensive exploration of minimally invasive surgical techniques.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundAlong with the unceasing progress of medicine, Crohn's disease (CD), especially complex CD, is no longer a taboo for minimally invasive surgery. However, considering its special disease characteristics, more clinical trials are needed to confirm the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic surgery for CD.
aimTo investigate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic enterectomy for CD, assess the advantages of laparoscopy over laparotomy in patients with CD, and discuss comprehensive minimally invasive surgical techniques in complex CD.
methodsThis study prospectively collected clinical data from patients with CD who underwent enterectomy from January 2017 to January 2020. It was registered in the Chinese clinical trial database with the registration number ChiCTR-INR-16009321. Patients were divided into a laparoscopy group and a traditional laparotomy group according to the surgical method. The baseline characteristics, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, temporary stoma, levels of abdominal adhesion, pathological characteristics, days to flatus and soft diet, postoperative complications, hospitalization time, readmission rate within 30 d, and hospitalization cost were compared between the two groups.
resultsA total of 120 eligible patients were enrolled into the pre-standardized groups, including 100 in the laparoscopy group and 20 in the laparotomy group. Compared with the laparotomy group, the postoperative hospitalization time in the laparoscopy group was shorter (9.1 ± 3.9 d
conclusionCompared with laparotomy, laparoscopic enterectomy promotes the recovery of gastrointestinal function, shortens the postoperative hospitalization time, and does not increase the incidence of postoperative complications. Laparoscopic enterectomy combined with varieties of minimally invasive surgical techniques is a safe and acceptable therapeutic method for CD patients with enteric fistulas.
