Initial experience of abdominal total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer using the da Vinci single port system.

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
From November 2021 to February 2022, 15 patients underwent total abdominal mesorectal excision for rectal cancer using the da Vinci single port system. The clinical and pathological results were analyzed retrospectively. All surgeries were performed without conversion. The mean distance from the tumor to the anal verge was 10 cm (range, 2-15 cm). The mean operative time was 191 minutes, the median docking time was 4 minutes (range, 2-10 minutes), and the estimated blood loss was 20 mL (range, 20-50 mL). The mean number of lymph nodes harvested was 16.5, the mean distal resection margin was 3.52 cm, and all patients had circumferential and distal tumor-free resection margins. One patient had minor anastomotic leakage. The mean length of hospital stay was 5.8 ± 2.5 days. Abdominal total mesorectal excision using the da Vinci single port system for rectal cancer is technically feasible and safe, with acceptable pathological and short-term clinical outcomes.
