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

purposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of totally intracorporeal colorectal anastomosis (TICA) in patients undergoing colorectal resection for the treatment of deep endometriosis (DE) affecting the bowel.

methodsBetween January 2021 and August 2024, 33 consecutive patients with DE treated with segmental colorectal resection were enrolled. In 30 patients, TICA was performed. Demographic, operative, and postoperative data were collected retrospectively.

resultsThe mean distance between the endometriotic nodule and the anal verge was 11.5 (7-18) cm. The mean operative time was 282.83 (190-512) minutes. No major intraoperative complications occurred. Three (10%) patients developed a minor (Clavien‒Dindo grade I/II) postoperative complication.

conclusionTICA is a safe and feasible technique and represents a valid alternative reconstruction method after colorectal resection for DE.
