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

Background: Natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) is widely used for colorectal cancer. However, there is limited study regarding the outcomes of patients with high BMI who undergo NOSES surgery for colorectal cancer. Methods: This retrospective study included 251 patients (including 205 Non-High BMI and 46 High BMI patients) who underwent NOSES for colorectal cancer between January 2013 and December 2018. Outcomes related to surgery, anal function and long-term survisval were compared between the Non-High BMI and High BMI patients with the propensity-score matching (PSM) method. Age, gender, tumor location (sigmoid/rectum), preoperative CEA, CA199, T stage and N stage were considered as covariates for PSM. Results: After matching, 44 patients in the Non-High BMI group and 44 patients in the High BMI group were eligible for analysis. No significant differences were observed between the groups in terms of operative time, blood loss, time to first flatus, time to first diet, postoperative hospital stays, positive margin, postoperative complication, conversion to open surgery and pathological outcomes (all Conclusion: With careful preoperative evaluation, High-BMI patients can successfully undergo NOSES surgery and achieve favorable outcomes.
