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

introductionVascular variations around the superior mesenteric vessels increase the technical difficulty and risk of injury during right-sided colon surgery. We report a rare case of cecal cancer with a common arterial trunk formed by the middle colic artery (MCA) and ileocolic artery (ICA) treated by robot-assisted surgery. CASE PRESENTATION: A man in his 70s was diagnosed with cecal cancer during evaluation for anemia. Preoperative CT revealed that the MCA and ICA originated from a common arterial trunk. Robot-assisted ileocecal resection with lymphadenectomy was performed. After identification of the common trunk, only the ICA was divided following confirmation of the bifurcation. Intracorporeal overlap anastomosis was completed using the double bipolar method.

conclusionsRobot-assisted surgery with precise preoperative imaging enables safe management of rare mesenteric vascular variations and provides important educational value.
