Robot-Assisted Oesophagectomy: Recommendations Towards a Standardised Ivor Lewis Procedure.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
A considerable number of reports have been published on the feasibility, techniques, and early postoperative results of robotic-assisted oesophageal surgery. However, these are mostly smaller case series, suggesting that the robot-assisted Ivor Lewis procedure is still in the implementation phase and far from being standardised. Oesophageal surgeons from seven robotic university centres in Germany, experienced in both minimally invasive and robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, took part in a workshop on robot-assisted surgery. An intensive exchange of opinions and experiences, followed by a step-by-step re-enactment of the operation in a cadaver lab, enabled us to develop a standardised robot-assisted Ivor Lewis surgical workflow, which is presented here. Systematic and objective comparison of experiences and results using a robot-assisted Ivor Lewis procedure has made it possible to develop a standardised surgical workflow that is now clinically applied in our centres. It is hoped that standardisation of this procedure will help to maintain patient safety, prevent medical errors, and facilitate the learning curve, while introducing robotic surgery into a centre.
