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

backgroundThe optimal anastomotic technique for total laparoscopic right hemicolectomy remains a subject of debate. Novel intracorporeal approaches may help overcome current challenges.

aimTo compare the efficacy of improved π anastomosis and overlap anastomosis.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 110 colon cancer patients who underwent total laparoscopic radical right hemicolectomy at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Suzhou Ninth People's Hospital, from January 2022 to May 2024. All patients underwent intracorporeal reconstruction, with 42 patients receiving improved π anastomosis and 68 patients undergoing overlap anastomosis. The perioperative related indicators and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups of patients.

resultsNo significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of operative time, number of lymph nodes dissected, or postoperative hospital stay (

conclusionThe improved π anastomosis in total laparoscopic radical right hemicolectomy ensures high safety and favorable short-term outcomes. It offers a shorter learning curve and quicker proficiency compared to overlap anastomosis, reducing operative times and technical demands on surgeons.
