An analysis of feasibility of robotic colectomy: post hoc analysis of a phase III randomised controlled trial.
Trial report in Journal of robotic surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
With global expansion of robotic surgery, there is increasing interest in its application in colonic surgery. This study aimed to report the feasibility of robotic assisted colonic resection as a post hoc analysis of a randomised controlled trial (RCT) by comparing outcomes following laparoscopic and robotic colectomy. The PAROS trial was a phase III RCT that compared outcomes in low pressure (LP, 7 mmHg) and standard pressure (SP, 12 mmHg) pneumoperitoneum in elective colectomy. A post hoc analysis was performed to compare clinical and operative outcomes in laparoscopic and robotic colonic resection in a high volume colorectal surgery practice. A health economic comparison was also performed. Data were analysed using IBM SPSS Statistics
