Comparison study of two anastomosis techniques in right hemicolectomy: a systematic review and pooling up analysis.
Synthesis in International journal of colorectal disease, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeThis study aims to compare side-to-side anastomosis (SSA) and end-to-side anastomosis (ESA) in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy from multiple perspectives to guide the selection of the optimal anastomotic technique.
methodsThis review was pre-registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024614418). A comprehensive literature search was performed using Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and China Biology Medicine (CBM). The primary outcome was anastomotic complications, and secondary outcomes included non-anastomotic complications, short-term prognosis, and surgical parameters.
resultsA total of 18 articles involving 14,555 participants were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. No significant difference was found between SSA and ESA regarding overall anastomotic complications (OR = 1.14, 95% CI = 0.81 to 1.62, P = 0.45). However, SSA showed advantages in reducing postoperative anastomotic bleeding (OR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.45 to 0.90, P = 0.01), while ESA appeared more favorable for reducing anastomotic leakage (AL) (OR = 1.29, 95% CI = 0.97 to 1.73, P = 0.08) and intestinal obstruction (OR = 1.20, 95% CI = 0.99 to 1.47, P = 0.07), though these differences were not statistically significant. No significant differences were found in non-anastomotic complications, short-term prognosis, or surgical parameters.
conclusionCurrent clinical evidence suggests that SSA is more effective than ESA in reducing postoperative anastomotic bleeding during right hemicolectomy for cancer. However, no significant differences were observed between the two techniques regarding overall anastomotic.
