Efficacy and Feasibility of Complete Mesocolic Excision with Central Vascular Ligation in Complicated Colorectal Cancer.
Article in Indian 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 1 paper.
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
Complete mesocolic excision (CME) with central vascular ligation (CVL) involves sharp dissection through the embryological planes. However, it may be associated with high mortalities and morbidities especially in colorectal emergencies. This study aimed to investigate the outcomes of CME with CVL in complicated colorectal cancers (CRCs). This was a retrospective study of emergency CRC resection in a tertiary center between March 2016 and November 2018. A total of 46 patients, with a mean age of 51 years, underwent an emergency colectomy for cancer (males, 26 [56.5%]; females, 20 [43.5%]). CME with CVL was performed for all patients. The mean operative time and blood loss were 188 min and 397 mL, respectively. Only five (10.8%) patients presented with burst abdomen, whereas only three (6.5%) presented with anastomotic leakage. The mean length of vascular tie was 8.7 cm, and the mean number of harvested lymph nodes (LNs) was 21.2. Emergency CME with CVL is a safe and feasible technique when performed by a colorectal surgeon and will result in obtaining a superior specimen with a large number of LNs.
