Efficacy and safety of robotic complete mesocolic excision: a systematic review.
Synthesis in International journal of colorectal disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundComplete mesocolic excision (CME) consists of the complete removal of tumor-bearing soft tissues enveloped by the mesocolic fascia and radical lymphadenectomy at the origin of feeding vessels. We conducted a systematic review, evaluating the efficacy of the robotic CME (RCME) in patients with right-sided colon cancer and presenting the data in comparison to those concerning the open RC (right colectomy) with CME.
methodsOne independent researcher searched the MEDLINE-PubMed database for published and unpublished material.
resultsEighty-three articles were found to refer to CME, 17 of which met the selection criteria following the PRISMA guidelines. All researchers presented short-term outcomes and agreed on the oncologic safety of CME. Different surgical approaches were proposed; however, no significant differences were noticed regarding the peri-operative outcomes.
conclusionAlthough long-term outcomes are needed to establish it as a standard of care in right-sided colon cancer, RCME is a procedure that gains more and more grounds due to its oncologic safety. The standard medial-to-lateral approach seems to have similar results to other approaches.
