Priority dissecting of the inferior mesenteric artery combined with complete medial approach: a novel laparoscopic approach for left-sided colon cancers.

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
purposeTo explore the application effect of the technique of "priority dissecting of the inferior mesenteric artery combined with complete medial approach (IMA-CMA)" in laparoscopic left-sided colon cancer radical resection.
methodsA total of 99 patients who underwent laparoscopic left-sided colon cancer radical resection with splenic flexure mobilization between September 2021 to May 2023 were included. Sixty-eight of these patients were analyzed after propensity score matching (PSM). The perioperative characteristics were compared.
resultsAmong these enrolled patients, 45 underwent the traditional approach, and 54 underwent IMA-CMA approach. After PSM, the patients were matched to include 34 patients in each group, with no significant differences in the sex (p = 0.618) or location of tumor (p = 0.798) between the two groups. The patients in IMA-CMA group had shorter operating time (p = 0.032), less intraoperative blood loss (p = 0.003), a higher number of harvested lymph nodes (p = 0.044) and center group lymph nodes(p = 0.037), and a shorter postoperative hospital stay (p = 0.011). Number of positive lymph nodes and postoperative complications were not significantly different between the two groups.
conclusionsThe technique of IMA-CMA for splenic flexure mobilization is safe and feasible. It can reduce operating time, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative hospital stay, which is conducive to achieving a thorough D3 lymphadenectomy without increasing the incidence of perioperative complications.
