Robotic Transanal Minimally Invasive Surgery for Rectal Polyps.
Review in Clinics in colon and rectal surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Transanal minimally invasive surgery (TAMIS) can be utilized to manage a wide variety of rectal lesions but can be technically demanding with traditional laparoscopic equipment. Robotic platforms such as the da Vinci Single Port system can reduce the technical barriers of TAMIS and allow more complicated lesions to be addressed. Robotic TAMIS with the SP system follows similar indications for local excision of benign and malignant lesions as conventional TAMIS or even transanal endoscopic microsurgery. We describe our initial experience using the SP system and provide technical suggestions for how to incorporate this technology. We also address innovations in flexible endoscopic robotic surgery that we anticipate will allow for increased use of organ preservation of the colon and rectum, as well as possibly expand the use of natural orifice surgery.
