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

backgroundTraditional laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (LaTME) presents challenges in patients with low rectal cancer, including difficult surgical exposure and positive margin risks.

aimTo compare the short-term outcomes of laparoscopic-assisted transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) and LaTME for mid-to-low rectal cancer.

methodsA retrospective analysis of 138 patients with rectal cancer was conducted, and they were divided into the TaTME group (

resultsThe two groups showed comparable baseline characteristics (

conclusionTaTME demonstrates superior short-term outcomes in surgical safety, oncological quality, and functional recovery to LaTME, warranting clinical promotion.
