1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Intestinal malrotation (IM) results from abnormal midgut rotation during embryogenesis and usually presents in early infancy. IM in adults is often an incidental radiological diagnosis. Right colon cancer with IM has been sparingly reported in the world literature. Only 44.7% of these documented cases underwent successful laparoscopic resection, all of which were reported from Japan. The presence of aberrant anatomy and altered vascular orientation in IM presents challenges for laparoscopic resection with adequate nodal clearance. We present the case of a 72-year-old female diagnosed with carcinoma of the ascending colon, with IM incidentally detected on pre-operative cross-sectional imaging. She underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomy. We also reviewed the documented cases of successful laparoscopic surgery for right colon cancers with IM. Aided by accurate delineation of vascular anatomy on pre-operative cross-sectional imaging, laparoscopic colectomy in the setting of IM is safe and feasible, and should be favourably considered.
