Risk factors for anastomotic leakage after low anterior resection for obese patients with rectal cancer.
Article in Surgery today, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeWe aimed to analyze the risk factors for anastomotic leakage (AL) after low anterior resection (LAR) in obese patients (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 25 kg/m
methodsData were collected from four hundred two obese patients who underwent LAR for rectal cancer in 51 institutions.
resultsForty-six (11.4%) patients had clinical AL. The median BMI (27 kg/m
conclusionComorbid respiratory disease and tumor size were risk factors for AL in obese patients with rectal cancer. Careful perioperative respiratory management and appropriate selection of surgical procedures are required for obese rectal cancer patients with respiratory diseases.
