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

backgroundSurgical resection is the primary treatment for benign primary retroperitoneal tumors. However, only a few studies have reported robotic resection for retroperitoneal tumors due to the low morbidity rate, and only a small fraction of retroperitoneal tumors are eligible for minimally invasive operations.

methodsA retrospective study enrolling 16 patients with benign primary retroperitoneal tumors between November 2016 and April 2020 was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of robotic resection for benign primary retroperitoneal tumors via the transperitoneal approach. Surgical skills were described in detail and operative experiences were summarized.

resultsThe operations were uneventfully performed without conversion in all the patients. The median operation time was 135 (120-180) min, and the median estimated blood loss was 25 (20-60) mL. The median duration of diet restoration was 2 (1-2) days and the median length of postoperative hospital stay was 6 (4-7) days. No serious intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred during the perioperative period.

conclusionsRobotic resection via the transperitoneal approach is a feasible and safe procedure for highly selected patients with benign primary retroperitoneal tumors, with few postoperative complications and a rapid recovery.
