Medial-to-Lateral Approach to the Splenic Flexure Resection and End Transverse Colostomy: A Case Report and Operative Video.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Splenic flexure cancer is relatively rare among colon cancers. We present a case of a 76-year-old female with a partially obstructing tumor in the proximal descending colon and pulmonary metastasis who underwent a laparoscopic resection of the splenic flexure with end transverse colostomy due to clinical symptoms of obstruction. This case highlights several important technical considerations in safely performing the laparoscopic resection of the splenic flexure through the medial-to-lateral approach starting at the plane below the inferior mesenteric vein (IMV), taking care to preserve the tail of the pancreas. We present a narrated video demonstrating our approach, taking care to highlight important anatomic landmarks.
