Comparison of different anastomosis methods in laparoscopically assisted left hemicolectomy for colon cancer.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal endoscopy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundLeft colon cancer surgery relies on laparoscopic hemicolectomy, with digestive tract reconstruction critical. End-to-side anastomosis (ESA) and side-to-side anastomosis (SSA) anastomoses are common, but their comparative outcomes, especially in splenic flexure handling and efficacy, need clarification. This study compares ESA and SSA to guide surgical practice.
aimTo compare the clinical outcomes of laparoscopically assisted left hemicolectomy with ESA and SSA.
methodsA total of 334 patients were included, with 105 patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University and 229 patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University, between January 1, 2012, and May 31, 2020. The patients were divided into two groups: 146 cases in the ESA group and 188 cases in the SSA group. Clinical data from both groups were compared, and the survival prognosis was followed up.
resultsThe operation time for the ESA group was significantly shorter than that of the SSA group (197.1 ± 57.7 minutes
conclusionBoth laparoscopically assisted left hemicolectomy with ESA and SSA are feasible and offer comparable long-term outcomes. ESA may reduce the need for splenic flexure dissociation, particularly when the tumor is located at the descending colon or its junction with the sigmoid colon, and especially in obese patients, elderly individuals with multiple complications, or those with severe adhesions in the splenic flexure of the surgical field.
