Colorectal cancer lymph node dissection and disease survival.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The debate regarding the two possible roles of lymphadenectomy in surgical oncology, prognostic or therapeutic, is still ongoing. Furthermore, the use of lymphadenectomy as a proxy for the quality of the surgical procedure is another feature of discussion. Nevertheless, this reckoning depends on patient conditions, aggressiveness of the tumor, the surgeon, and the pathologist, and then it is not an absolute surrogate for the surgical quality. The international guidelines recommend a minimum of 12 lymph nodes harvested for pathological examination in colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery. There is a growing literature on reporting better survival when the lymph node yield is high, even when these nodes are negative for malignancy. On the other hand, there are studies reporting no survival benefit with high lymph node yield in stage I-II of CRC. Herein we review the roles of the lymphadenectomy in CRC, and discuss the results of studies on lymph node harvesting.
