1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The current study's primary aim is to compare the safety and effectiveness between total and conventional robot-assisted cyst excisions and hepaticojejunostomies in children with choledochal cysts (CCs). Patients suffering from CCs treated with either total or conventional robot-assisted procedures (TRAS or CRAS) between December 2019 and February 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Data collected included the characteristics, operative and postoperative details. The risk factors for conversion of TRAS to CRAS were analyzed by logistic regression analysis. There were 50 patients who underwent TRAS and CRAS, respectively, and 19 patients were transferred to CRAS. The operation time in the TRAS group was significantly higher than that of the CRAS group, while the time to taking water and hospital stay were significantly shorter (p < 0.05). No significant difference was observed in complications between the groups (p = 0.325). The risk factors for conversion of TRAS to CRAS were age ≥ 48 months, thickness of abdominal wall (TAW) ≥ 1.3 cm and upper abdominal length (UAL) ≥ 9.5 cm. Both TRAS and CRAS are safe and feasible. Performing TRAS is recommended for patients whose age ≥ 48 months, TAW ≥ 1.3 cm and UAL ≥ 9.5 cm, while for others, it is recommended to perform CRAS.
