Laparoscopic top-down right hemicolectomy: a new surgical technique to complete mesocolic excision.

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
In the present study we describe our top-down approach as a suitable, safe, and reproducible alternative technique for complete mesocolic excision (CME) in right hemicolectomy. The Top-down technique permits the correct identification and resection of gastrocolic trunk vessels at a safe distance from the pancreas and mesenteric vessels. This is possible thanks to the previous creation of two opened windows at Treves' avascular area and at the transverse mesocolon that lifts the lymphovascular tissue from the pancreas. This gentle dissection, avoiding major vascular trauma, reduces the complications related to traditional CME. The top-down technique was performed at "Guglielmo da Saliceto" Hospital in Piacenza, Italy. Thirty-two consecutive patients who underwent right hemicolectomy for cancer by the same surgeon were included, 16 with medial-to-lateral approach and 16 with the new top-down technique. Top-down CME showed a shorter surgical time, 178.3±41.9
