Research progress in lateral lymph node dissection for rectal cancer.
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Lateral lymph node dissection (LLND), a critical surgical intervention for patients with low rectal cancer, plays a pivotal role in clinical practice. Its primary objective is to completely resect lateral pelvic lymph nodes, block the metastatic pathway of tumor cells, minimize the risk of postoperative recurrence, and provide a foundation for long-term survival. In Japan, LLND has become a standard surgical procedure for low rectal cancer and is widely applied. However, in Europe and North America, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) is regarded as the dominant treatment standard, which has led LLND to remain controversial and face doubts in clinical application. This article integrates the latest clinical research findings, explores the trajectory of technical evolution, analyzes clinical efficacy, objectively presents key points of academic controversy, and prospectively considers future developments. It aims to provide a comprehensive professional analysis for the rational application and continuous optimization of this technique in the treatment of low rectal cancer.
