Short-term outcomes of extracorporeal colo-colonic triangular anastomosis versus functional end-to-end anastomosis in laparoscopic-assisted surgery for left-sided colon cancer: a propensity score matching analysis.
Article in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 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
purposeTo the best of our knowledge, no studies have compared the short-term outcomes between colo-colonic extracorporeal triangular anastomosis (TA) and functional end-to-end anastomosis (FEEA), with a focus on laparoscopic-assisted surgery for left-sided colon cancer. Therefore, this study compared the short-term outcomes of these anastomoses using propensity score matching analysis.
methodsThis retrospective study included 129 patients with stage I-IV left-sided colon cancer who underwent laparoscopic-assisted surgery with colo-colonic extracorporeal TA (n = 75) or FEEA (n = 54) between May 2009 and March 2021. After propensity score matching, 84 patients (TA, n = 42; FEEA, n = 42) were included in the analysis. The primary endpoint was the complication rate for all grades, and the secondary endpoints were the rates of Clavien - Dindo grade ≥ 3 complications and anastomotic leakage.
resultsIn the matched cohort, there were no significant differences in the complication rates for all grades (35.7% vs. 26.2%, p = 0.479), Clavien - Dindo grade ≥ 3 complications (11.9% vs. 11.9%, p = 1), and anastomotic leakage (0% vs. 4.8%, p = 0.494) between the TA and FEEA groups. In the univariate logistic regression analysis, TA did not increase the frequency of complications for any grades compared with FEEA (odds ratio: 1.570, 95% confidence interval: 0.616-3.980, p = 0.347).
conclusionExtracorporeal TA demonstrated equivalent short-term outcomes compared with FEEA in cases of laparoscopic-assisted surgery for left-sided colon cancer. TA can be an alternative anastomosis technique in cases wherein FEEA is difficult to perform.
