Double-Docking Technique, an Optimized Process for Intrathoracic Esophagogastrostomy in Robot-Assisted Ivor Lewis Esophagectomy.

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
Background: Though robotic Ivor Lewis esophagectomy has been increasingly applied, intrathoracic esophagogastrostomy is still a technical barrier. In this retrospective study, we introduced a double-docking technique for intrathoracic esophagogastrostomy to optimize surgical exposure and facilitate intrathoracic anastomosis. Moreover, we compared the clinical outcomes between the double-docking technique and anastomosis with a single-docking procedure in robotic Ivor Lewis esophagectomy. Methods: From March 2017 to September 2020, the clinical data of 68 patients who underwent robotic Ivor Lewis esophagectomy were reviewed, including 23 patients who underwent the double-docking technique (double-docking group) and 45 patients who underwent single-docking robotic esophagectomy (single-docking group). All patients were diagnosed with esophageal cancer or gastro-esophageal junction by biopsy before surgery. The technical details of the double-docking technique are described in this article. Results: There was no difference in the patient demographics data between the two groups. The median surgical time in the double-docking group was slightly shorter than in the classic group without statistical difference (380 vs. 395 min, Conclusions: Based on our experience, the double-docking technique provides good surgical exposure when fashioning anastomosis, and such a technique does not increase the surgical time. Therefore, we believe that the double-docking technique is a safe and effective method for intrathoracic esophagogastrostomy while providing good exposure and ensuring the convenience and reliability of intrathoracic anastomosis.
