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

Minimally Invasive Surgery has become an acceptable substitute for Open Surgery in the management of colorectal cancer, with the claimed benefits of reduced morbidity and quicker recovery. Therefore it is of interest to compare the clinical and oncological results of MIS and OS among 200 patients with colorectal cancer over five years. The patients were evaluated for operative time, complications, hospital stay and disease-free survival. MIS has been demonstrated to be linked to markedly reduced stays in hospital (6 vs. 10 days) and decreased complication rates (15% vs. 25%) versus Open Surgery with similar oncologic outcomes: clearance of margins, as well as five-year disease- free survival, p > 0.05. Thus, data support MIS as an effective and safe method within suitably chosen patients with cancer of the colon and rectum, with advantage at recovery duration and complications.
