Intracorporeal versus extracorporeal anastomosis in laparoscopic right colectomy: a retrospective study.
Article in World journal of surgical oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundThe surgical procedure for laparoscopic right colectomy (LRC) is not standardized. Some published studies show the superiority of ileocolic anastomosis (IIA), but the evidence so far is insufficient. This study aimed to investigate the potential advantages in postoperative recovery and safety of IIA in LRC.
methodsA total of 114 patients who underwent LRC with IIA (n = 58) or extracorporeal ileocolic anastomosis (EIA, n = 56) between January 2019 and September 2021 were enrolled. We collected certain factors as clinical features, intraoperative characteristics, oncological outcomes, postoperative recovery, and short-term outcomes. Our primary outcome was time to gastrointestinal (GI) function recovery. Secondary outcomes were postoperative complications within 30 days, postoperative pain, and length of hospital stay.
resultsFaster GI recovery and less postoperative pain were observed in patients with IIA compared to EIA [time to first flatus: (2.4 ± 0.7) vs (2.8 ± 1.0) days, p < 0.01; time to liquid intake: (3.5 ± 0.7) vs (4.0 ± 1.1) days, p = 0.01; postoperative visual analogue scale score: (3.9 ± 1.0) vs (4.3 ± 0.6), p = 0.02]. No significant differences were detected in oncological outcomes or postoperative complications. IIA, rather than EIA, tended to be performed in patients with higher body mass index [(23.93 ± 3.52) vs (22.36 ± 2.87) kg/m
conclusionsIIA is associated with faster GI function recovery and less postoperative pain and may be more favorable for obese patients.
