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

Lateral pelvic lymph node dissection (LPLND) provides oncologic benefits in patients with rectal cancer who have enlarged lateral nodes. However, anatomical complexity in the lateral pelvis makes the procedure technically challenging,  which may lead to  increased intraoperative blood loss, prolonged operative time, postoperative complications and incomplete lymph node dissection. To address such technical  challenges, various surgical navigation tools have been developed. In this up-to-date narrative review, we summarize the current evidence on surgical navigation for LPLND and discuss their advantages,  limitations and future perspectives.
