A new method to eliminate dog ears in laparoscopic low anterior resection.
Article in BMC surgery, 2026. 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
backgroundThe study introduced a novel method to perform an end-to-end anastomosis in laparoscopic low anterior resection by eliminating the "dog ears" deformity caused by the double-stapling technique, and evaluated its safety and feasibility by analyzing its surgical and postoperative outcomes.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the cases of 68 patients who underwent laparoscopic low anterior resection of the colorectum from March 2023 to August 2024 in our hospital. The data of clinicopathologic characteristics and postoperative outcomes were collected and analyzed.
resultsThe mean duration of the operation was 176.13 ± 39.86 min. No patients experienced anastomotic leakage or bleeding. One patient had a postoperative fever due to lung infection, and another developed a fever due to central venous infection. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 4.88 ± 1.64 days.
conclusionsThe "manta-shaped anastomosis" described in this article can achieve true end-to-end anastomosis in laparoscopic anterior resection, reducing the risk of anastomotic leakage. This technique could be an alternative approach to maximize the patients' benefit.
