Comparison of early and long-term clinical outcomes in obstructed proximal and distal colon cancers undergoing emergent surgery.

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
Introduction: Studies comparing proximal and distal colon tumours undergoing emergent surgery for obstruction are limited. Aim: The purpose of our study was to compare the clinical and oncological outcomes of patients with proximal and distal colon cancer, who underwent emergent surgery for obstruction. Material and methods: From January 2012 to June 2022, patients with colon cancer presenting with obstruction and undergoing emergent surgery were analysed. The 2 groups were defined as proximal and distal according to the tumour location with respect to the splenic flexure. Postoperative early and long-term clinical and oncological outcomes were analysed. Results: Of the 118 patients included in the study, there were 46 patients (38.9%) in the proximal group and 72 patients (61.1%) in the distal group. Single-session surgery including resection and anastomosis was performed on 31 (67.4%) and 29 (40.3%) patients in the proximal and distal groups, respectively ( Conclusions: Mortality is high in emergent surgeries for obstructed proximal and distal colon cancers. If curative resection is achieved, oncological results are good and tumour localisation does not affect survival.
