Combined robotic inguinal and iliac-obturator lymphadenectomy for stage III skin cancers: Surgical technique and preliminary results.
Article in The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundIlio-inguinal lymphadenectomy for stage III melanoma and skin cancers still represents the best therapeutic option for a subset of patients, although the incidence of post-operative complications is dramatically high. Only a paucity of papers on robotic approach have been published, reporting experiences on isolated pelvic or inguinal lymphadenectomy, and no series on combined dissections have been described yet. We present the preliminary results achieved with combined robotic approach, with special emphasis on lymph nodal mapping, dissection technique and postoperative complications linked with the lymphatic system.
methodsBetween September 2019 and September 2021, 10 patients were submitted to robotic inguinal and iliac-obturator lymphadenectomy.
resultsPost-operative course was characterised by early mobilisation and minimal post-operative pain. Only one lymphoedema occurred and lymph nodal harvesting was more than satisfactory.
conclusionsRobotic surgery provides meticulous lymph nodal dissections, with promising functional and oncologic outcomes. Further series are advocated to confirm these preliminary results.
