Bridge-to-surgery in acute right-sided obstructing colon cancer: A survey of surgeons' perspectives on treatment strategies.

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
aimTo investigate surgeons' perspectives on the management of right-sided obstructing colon cancer, with particular focus on their views regarding bridge-to-surgery strategies.
methodsA national cross-sectional descriptive survey study was conducted in the Netherlands between January and October 2024. Questionnaires were distributed among surgeons with an interest in colorectal surgery and surgical trainees specialising in gastrointestinal surgery.
resultsFifty completed questionnaires were analysed; 80% of the respondents were surgeons, 20% were surgical trainees. Emergency resection was reported as the sole treatment option for right-sided obstructing colon cancer in 4% (n = 2), while 64% (n = 32) indicated that emergency resections were performed alongside other treatment strategies. The majority of the respondents preferred a bridge-to-surgery strategy, with bowel decompression with nasogastric tube (38%) and ileostomy (38%) being the most favoured strategies. Endoscopic stenting was not offered in 90%, largely due to the lack of trained endoscopists.
conclusionManagement of right-sided obstructing colon cancer varies considerably, though most surgeons and surgical trainees favour bridge-to-surgery approaches. Greater consistency may be achieved through further research and guideline development.
