Techniques, perioperative outcomes, prognosis, and survival associated with laparoscopic surgery for T3-T4a colon cancer.

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
backgroundThe efficacy of laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of T3-T4a colon cancer remains a subject of debate in the medical community.
aimTo explore the surgical techniques, perioperative outcomes, follow-up results, patient prognosis, and survival status associated with laparoscopic surgery for T3-T4a colon cancer.
methodsA total of 202 patients with T3-T4a colon cancer treated at the Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University between January 2020 and December 2024 were selected for this study and divided into two groups based on the type of surgery: Open surgery group (101 cases) and laparoscopic surgery group (LAP group, 101 cases). Perioperative indicators (surgical time, postoperative drainage, first flatus, hospital stay, intraoperative blood loss, and number of lymph nodes removed), disease-free survival, and overall survival at 1-year and 3-year follow-ups, as well as the incidence of complications, were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe LAP group had longer surgical times and a greater number of lymph nodes removed compared to the open surgery group (
conclusionThe long-term outcomes of laparoscopic radical surgery for T3-T4a colon cancer are comparable to those of open surgery and can accelerate patient recovery and reduce the risk of short-term complications, offering better immediate outcomes.
