Robotic single port anti-reflux surgery: Initial worldwide experience of two cases with a novel surgical approach to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease.

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
introductionTo date, no anti-reflux operations have been reported with the new da Vinci Single-Port (single port (SP)) robotic platform. We aimed to describe this novel surgical approach and evaluate its safety and feasibility.
methodsAll robotic SP operations were performed under an Institutional Review Board approved protocol.
resultsTwo patients underwent robotic SP anti-reflux surgery through a single incision of 2.7 cm (one Nissen-fundoplication and one re-Redo Nissen-fundoplication). The mean docking-time was 2.5 (2-3) minutes and mean console-time was 147 (119-155) minutes. No additional ports were needed, and no intraoperative complications occurred. Patients tolerated a soft diet on postoperative day 1 and were discharged on POD-2 and 3.
conclusionRobotic SP anti-reflux surgery appears to be safe and feasible. This platform offers similar advantages to the multiport robotic surgery, while adding lower invasiveness and an improved cosmesis. Further studies are needed to confirm our results and evaluate long-term outcomes of this surgical approach.
