Short-term perioperative outcomes after robot-assisted and laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy.
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 9 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Robotic surgery offers potential technical advantages that may facilitate pancreatic resection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the learning curve and short-term perioperative outcomes in patients who underwent laparoscopic and robot-assisted distal pancreatectomy. All perioperative variables were evaluated and compared retrospectively between laparoscopic (LDP) (n = 23) and robot-assisted (RDP) (n = 11) distal pancreatectomy. The mean total operative time was shorter in LDP (194 vs. 225 min; p = 0.017). All other perioperative criteria were similar between LDP and RDP patients (blood loss, transfusion rate, conversion, pancreatic fistula, postoperative morbidity, and duration of hospitalization). Non-adjusted CUSUM curve for composite events including operative time, conversion, postoperative morbidity and reoperation rates showed that the RDP learning curve corresponded to the first seven consecutive patients. During early experience, RDP was associated with longer operative time but similar short-term perioperative outcomes compared to conventional distal pancreatectomy.
