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

Robotics in colorectal surgery has been in the market for 17 years now, and continuously gaining popularity; three-dimensional steady views, great range of motion, tremor filtration, augmented dexterity, and articulated instruments, help surgeons to overcome some of the difficulties of laparoscopy and enables them to reach very low into the pelvis. The objective of our study is to present our experience with robotic, total and partial mesorectal excision and evaluate the efficiency of robotic surgery in the group of patients with rectal tumours. This is a prospective, observational study. The procedures were undertaken in a Teaching hospital in United Kingdom, for 4 years period (11/2014-02/2019). The SI Davinci system was used. Technical and oncological outcomes were assessed. The analysis included 85 patients (49 male) who underwent rectal resections. 80 patients (94%) had cancer. Davinci total mesorectal excision (61) and partial mesorectal excision (24) with single side-docking technique. We reviewed the efficiency of the robotic platform in patients with rectal tumours. Median age was 65 (37-89) years and BMI was 27 kg/m
