Laparoscopic radical transverse colectomy with transrectal specimen extraction: A novel natural orifice specimen extraction procedure: A case report.
Article in Journal of minimal access surgery. 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
Transverse colon cancer accounts for about 10% of all colonic cancers. The resection of cancers in the transverse colon is technically more challenging, compared with other cancer locations in the colon because the variable anatomy of the middle colic vessels demands excellent surgical skills and the anatomical location of the transverse colon is related to major organs. We report a novel laparoscopic technique for the first time used in surgery of transverse colon cancer which combines a total intracorporeal anastomosis with natural orifice specimen extraction to solve the problems of traditional laparoscopic surgery. A 48-year-old male patient, whose diagnosis was transverse colon adenocarcinoma, was admitted to the hospital. The surgery was performed in accordance with the procedure of totally laparoscopic right hemicolectomy and the specimen was extracted by opening the rectum. Natural orifice specimen extraction surgery has many advantages, including less pain, better cosmesis and minimising risks of complications and also has comparable long-term outcomes compared to conventional laparoscopic surgery.
