Operative mortality in carcinoma of the rectum. Results of the German Multicentre Study.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 1993. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
An analysis of operative mortality for carcinoma of the rectum in the German Study Group Colo-Rectal Carcinoma (SGCRC) comprising 1115 operated patients, found a total operative mortality rate of 4.3% and a 30-day-mortality rate of 2.8%. Advanced age, severe concurrent disease, anastomotic leakage in anterior resections and institution were found to be factors with independent significant influence. In anterior resections, especially low anterior resections, with protective enterostomy, the lower rates of anastomotic leakage and mortality emphasize the advantages of protective enterostomy.
