Robotic lobectomy for lung cancer: initial experience of a single institution in Korea.

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
backgroundRobotic surgery is known to have several advantages including magnified three-dimensional vision and angulation of the surgical instruments. To evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of robotic lobectomy in the treatment of lung cancer, we analyzed the outcomes of our initial experiences with robotic lobectomy at a single institution in Korea.
methodsEighty-seven patients with lung cancer underwent robotic lobectomy (robotic group: 34 patients) and video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy (VATS group: 53 patients) between 2011 and 2016 at our hospital. The medical records of these patients were retrospectively analyzed.
resultsThe operation times of the two groups were significantly different (robotic group, 293±74 min; VATS group, 201±62 min; P<0.01). Intraoperative blood loss occurred more in the robotic group than in the VATS group (robotic group, 403±197 mL; VATS group, 298±188 mL; P=0.018). The numbers of lymph nodes dissected in the two groups were significantly different (robotic group, 22±12; VATS group, 14±7; P<0.01). There was no intraoperative mortality in both groups.
conclusionsDespite the initial difficulties, robotic lobectomy for lung cancer was a safe and feasible procedure with no operative mortality. If operation time and intraoperative blood loss improve as the learning curve progresses, robotic surgery may overcome the limitations of VATS in lung cancer surgery.
