1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Background, Natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) via the anus or vagina is an alternative to conventional transabdominal specimen extraction in laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. NOSE has been shown to be safe and effective, resulting in decreased postoperative pain, analgesia use, and improved recovery, without oncological compromise. We aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of NOSE for combined colectomy with liver metastasectomy. Methods, From July 2022 to April 2024, all cases of laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection and synchronous liver metastasectomy with NOSE were included in the study. Selection criteria included a maximum specimen diameter of less than 5 cm and patient body mass index of less than 35 kg/m
