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: Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy, first introduced in 1995, features acceptable cosmetic outcomes and postoperative pain control. The outcomes of single-port cholecystectomy by laparoscopy and robots were recently examined in many studies owing to surgeon and patient preference for minimally invasive surgery. A next-level da Vinci robotic platform was recently released. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of robotic cholecystectomy (RC) using the da Vinci SP® system. Methods: In this retrospective observational single-center study, we analyzed the medical records of 304 patients who underwent RC between March 1, 2017 and May 31, 2021. Results: Of the 304 patients, the da Vinci Xi® (Xi) was used in 159 and the da Vinci SP® (SP) was used in 145. The mean operation time was 45.7 mins in the SP group versus 49.8 mins in the Xi group. The mean docking time of the SP group was shorter than that of the Xi group (5.7 min vs 8.8 min; p = 0.024). The mean immediate postoperative numerical rating scale (NRS) score was 4.0 in the SP group and 4.3 in the Xi group, showing a significant difference (p = 0.003). A separate analysis of only patients with acute cholecystitis treated with the da Vinci SP® showed that the immediate postoperative NRS score in the acute group was higher than that in the nonacute group. Conclusions: This study demonstrated acceptable results of single-site cholecystectomy using da Vinci SP®. Thus, pure single-port RC using the da Vinci SP® for various benign gallbladder diseases may be an excellent treatment option.
