1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe robotic system has been adopted as the new modality for minimally invasive surgery for rectal cancer. However, analysis of risk factors for complications after robotic rectal cancer surgery (RRS) has been limited. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for complications after RRS.

methodsThe records of 389 consecutive patients who underwent RRS between June 2006 and October 2010 were retrieved from our prospectively collected database.

resultsThe overall complication rate was 19%. The most common complication was anastomotic leakage (7.0%), followed by voiding difficulty, intrapelvic abscess, and ileus/obstruction. Multivariate analysis revealed the following as risk factors for postoperative complications: male gender, history of previous abdominal surgery, and lower tumor level (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.8, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.0-3.1, p = 0.041; HR = 2.3; 95% CI = 1.2-4.6, p = 0.012; and HR = 1.9, 95% CI = 1.1-3.3, p = 0.020, respectively). With regard to pelvic septic complications, lower tumor level, large tumor size, and preoperative chemoradiation remained variables that retained their statistical significance in multivariate analysis (HR = 2.6, 95% CI = 1.1-6.1, p = 0.029; HR = 2.7, 95% CI = 1.1-6.1, p = 0.017; HR = 2.9, 95% CI = 1.3-6.5, p = 0.007, respectively). The rate of postoperative complications was not influenced by the difference in laparoscopic surgery experience or the technique of robotic surgery.

conclusionSurgeons should be more cautious with these patient factors to optimize the benefits of robotic rectal resection.
