Robotic Sigmoidectomy With Natural Orifice Specimen Extraction: A Single-Center Experience.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background Natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) involves the removal of specimens through a naturally occurring orifice, such as the anus, rather than trans-abdominal extraction. NOSE procedures have been shown to significantly reduce postoperative complications and improve healing. Objective The purpose of this case series is to report the outcomes of 27 patients undergoing sigmoidectomies through natural orifice specimen extraction. Materials and methods We carefully recorded demographic data on age and BMI, as well as operative data on surgical indication, and length of stay. We also collected data on postoperative complications, including infection, hernia, wound dehiscence, urinary tract infections (UTIs), or anastomotic leaks. Results Our patients were majority female (
