Single-session, dual-site robotic surgery for synchronous primary malignancies of the oropharynx and thorax.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Single-session, dual-site robotic surgery for synchronous malignancies is not widely reported. To our knowledge, there are no previous reports of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and robot-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) in a single sitting. A 49-year-old male presented with a neck lump. Biopsies and imaging proved synchronous primaries of the tonsil and lung. The morbidity of primary dual-site chemoradiotherapy, or open surgery, presented a management challenge. We therefore opted for sequential robotic resections, in a single sitting. The patient was discharged on Day 6 post-operatively and was able to start radiotherapy less than 3 weeks post-operatively. Undertaking TORS and RATS in a single sitting is feasible and safe. This approach allowed fast-tracking of adjuvant oncological therapy, arguably conveying the greatest chance of cure. We detail the rationale and utility of this novel approach and describe the surgical and anaesthetic challenges of two teams undertaking sequential robotic procedures in a single sitting.
