Simultaneous Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Excision of Pre-pyloric Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor and Cholecystectomy.
Article in Cureus, 2017. 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
Operating on more than a single procedure in a same surgical intervention saves time, anesthesia duration and can increase the overall quality of life by lowering the duration of hospital stay and minimizing patient anxiety. But such interventions require expertise, high surgical performance, and precision in anatomical manipulation. We present a case of an outstanding performance of a unique minimally invasive simultaneous approach of removing a pre-pyloric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) along with a cholecystectomy by a robot-assisted laparascopic surgical system. So far, only 33 cases of GIST have been reported in literature that were managed by robot-assistance, and this case is the first of its kind. This is the case of a 60-year-old overweight female who presented for a follow-up for chest discomfort, shortness of breath, chronic gastric reflux and classical features of cholecystitis along with diarrheal and constipation episodes. A gastroduodenoscopy showed a mass in the pre-pyloric area that extended in the luminal cavity. A robot-assisted laparascopic approach was planned, and with precision and surgical expertise the mass was removed along with a cholecystectomy. The surgical specimen were confirmed on histopathology.
