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
aimMinimally invasive surgery (MIS) has become common practice in elective colectomy; however, in emergent settings, this is less common and requires further research on safety and efficacy. The aim of this study was to compare MIS and open approaches for emergency colectomy.
methodAdults who underwent emergency colectomy for diverticular disease, colorectal malignancy or inflammatory bowel disease between 2016 and 2022 were identified in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program. The primary outcome was overall 30-day post-operative major morbidity-a composite outcome that included variables such as mortality and venous thromboembolism. Secondary outcomes were 30-day post-operative mortality, septic complications, wound complications and length of stay (LOS). Multivariable regression models were fit for each outcome.
resultsIn total, 82,142 patients were identified who underwent emergency colectomy, of which 24,050 patients underwent MIS (29.4%). In total, 27,206 patients (33.1%) experienced the primary outcome of overall in-hospital post-operative morbidity, with significantly more patients in the open group experiencing this outcome (39.3% vs. 18.3%, odds ratio [OR] 0.57, 95% confidence intervals [CI] 0.54-0.59, p < 0.001). MIS patients had significantly lower risk of mortality (OR 0.54, 95% CI 0.48-0.60), septic complications (OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.54-0.61) and wound complications (OR 0.53, 95% CI 0.51-0.56). Post-operative LOS was 2.22 days shorter in the MIS group (95% CI -2.32 to -2.13, p < 0.001).
conclusionEmergency colectomy via MIS is associated with a decreased risk of post-operative morbidity and mortality as compared to open surgery. While MIS is increasingly prevalent in elective settings, these data illustrate potential benefits in the emergent setting.
