Comparison of the mixed approach and medial approach in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for right colon cancer: a retrospective study.

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
Purpose: The study aimed to determine the 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) outcomes of the mixed approach vs. the medial approach in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed clinical data from 290 patients who underwent laparoscopic right hemicolectomies at our institution. Based on the surgical approach used, the patients were categorized into a medial approach group ( Results: No significant difference was found in the baseline data between the two groups. Moreover, the results showed no significant difference between the medial approach and mixed approach groups in both DFS [HR = 1.799, 95% CI (0.9673, 3.347), Conclusions: Across tumor stages, 3-year DFS and OS rates were similar between the two surgical approach groups. Thus, considering its safety and efficacy, the mixed approach may be a preferred alternative.
