Robot-assisted versus conventional laparoscopic surgery for endometrial cancer: long-term comparison of outcomes.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Objective: There is a lack of multi-institutional large-volume and long-term follow-up data on comparisons between robot-assisted surgery and conventional laparoscopic surgery. This study compared the surgical and long-term survival outcomes between patients who underwent robot-assisted or conventional laparoscopic surgery for endometrial cancer. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of patients from five large academic institutions who underwent either robot-assisted or conventional laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of endometrial cancer between 2012 and 2017, ensuring at least 5 years of potential follow-up. Intra- and postoperative outcomes, long-term disease-free survival, and overall survival were compared. Results: The study cohort included 1,003 unselected patients: 551 and 452 patients received conventional laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgery, respectively. The median follow-up duration was 57 months. Postoperative complications were significantly less likely to occur in the robot-assisted surgery group compared to the laparoscopic surgery group (7.74% Conclusion: Robot-assisted surgery for endometrial cancer demonstrates comparable long-term survival outcomes and a reduced incidence of postoperative minor complications when compared to conventional laparoscopic surgery.
