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

backgroundThe incidence of rectal cancer is increasing worldwide, and surgery remains the primary treatment modality. With the advent of total mesorectal excision (TME) technique, the probability of tumor recurrence post-surgery has significantly decreased. Surgeons' focus has gradually shifted towards minimizing the impact of surgery on urinary and sexual functions. Among these concerns, the optimal dissection of the rectal lateral ligaments and preservation of the pelvic floor neurovascular bundle have become critical. To explore the optimal surgical technique for TME and establish a standardized surgical protocol to minimize the impact on urinary and sexual functions, we propose the eight-zone dissection strategy for pelvic floor anatomy.

aimTo compare the differences in surgical specimen integrity and postoperative quality of life satisfaction between the traditional pelvic floor dissection strategy and the innovative eight-zone dissection strategy.

methodsWe analyzed the perioperative data of patients who underwent laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University between January 1, 2021 and December 1, 2023. This study included a total of 218 patients undergoing laparoscopic radical surgery for rectal cancer, among whom 109 patients underwent traditional pelvic floor dissection strategy, and 109 patients received the eight-zone dissection strategy.

resultsThere were no significant differences in general characteristics between the two groups. Patients in the eight-zone dissection group had higher postoperative specimen integrity (88.1%

conclusionThis study demonstrates that the eight-zone dissection strategy for laparoscopic lateral ligament dissection of rectal cancer is safe and effective. Compared with the traditional pelvic floor dissection strategy, this approach can reduce the risk of nerve injury and minimize the impact on urinary and sexual functions. Therefore, we recommend the clinical application of this strategy to better serve patients with rectal cancer.
