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
Transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) refers to endoscopic retrograde total mesorectal excision and is becoming increasingly popular worldwide. TaTME improves surgical manipulation and minimizes the risk of local recurrence of rectal cancer by ensuring circumferential resection margins. TaTME is mainly indicated for patients in whom transabdominal approaches are expected to be technically challenging. We extended the indications for TaTME to include surgery for ulcerative colitis lesions that might be cancerous in the rectum. Here, we report a case of proctocolectomy with TaTME for ulcerative colitis. A 38-year-old woman who was receiving treatment for ulcerative colitis underwent a biopsy for random samples from the transverse colon to the rectum. Histopathological findings revealed noninvasive dysplasia with p53 overexpression, suggestive of cancer. We extended the indication of TaTME to surgery for ulcerative colitis. We formed two surgical teams and performed laparoscopic proctocolectomy with TaTME simultaneously. This simultaneous operation reduced the duration of the procedures in the present case. The patient was discharged without any complications and underwent loop ileostomy closure four months postoperatively. The patient recovered without significant loss of the anal sphincter function and is doing well four months after the second surgery. We propose laparoscopic proctocolectomy with TaTME to be conducted simultaneously by two teams as a safe and effective technique that is associated with a shorter operation time than that reported previously. Additionally, TaTME was useful in confirming the appropriate dissection layer as well as in surgical manipulation. Hence, TaTME could serve as a useful therapeutic option for ulcerative colitis surgery.
